Información
When children are removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect, they often enter a confusing foster care system. In these moments, they need someone by their side who will speak up for their best interests. That’s what Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) do.
CASA volunteers take time to understand each child’s story, learning about their home life, background, and needs. This knowledge helps advocates make informed, compassionate recommendations that truly reflect the child’s best interests. Through regular visits and ongoing connection, CASAs build trust with the children they serve. Their presence provides consistency in uncertain times and reminds each child that they are seen, heard, and valued. CASA volunteers clearly share what they learn so every decision is informed. They document visits, track progress, and provide concise updates to the court and team, ensuring the child’s needs and voice are never overlooked.
CASAs stand beside each child in court, offering clear, informed recommendations on placement, services, and next steps. Their advocacy ensures the child’s voice is heard in every decision that shapes their future.
At CASA of the 20th Judicial District, we recruit, train, and support volunteers who serve as the voice for children in foster care across Faulkner, Conway, Van Buren, and Searcy Counties.
