The county says CASA’s mission is protecting children today for stronger families tomorrow by providing trained, court-appointed volunteers who advocate for the best interests of children and youth. The release says CASA’s vision is to ensure that every child who needs an advocate has one, with the goal of a safe home and a promising future.

CASA is currently seeking volunteers. Information is available here.
