Volunteer Application Process - Coastal Bend CASA

What do CASA Volunteers Do?

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer gathers information from everyone involved in a child’s daily life, including members of the child’s family, foster parents, teachers, lawyers, social workers and other relevant persons.
Then, they report to a judge to advocate for the child’s best interests.
Ideally, CASA volunteers will work towards reuniting the child with their family of origin whenever safe, and if reunification is not possible, they may recommend placing the child with extended family or family friends.

CASA volunteers are ordinary people just like you. They come from all walks of life, just like the children in foster care they help.

WATCH: How much training is needed to become a CASA?

WATCH: I have a full-time job, can I still be a CASA volunteer?

WATCH: Will I also be working with the child’s family?
