CASA is a nonprofit, judicial volunteer program that helps to ensure that the child’s voice is a part of the court’s decision regarding what is in his or her best future interest. The goal for every foster child is that they achieve a safe, permanent, and nurturing home. CASA advocates report to the court about the status of services that are in place to address the needs of a child in care and how the child is faring in his or her current placement, school environment and more.
Light refreshments will be provided at the information meetings. Registration is not required. Must be at least 21 years of age. Details: 724-850-6874
