My wife is a CASA volunteer. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by judges, CASA volunteers support the child until they are placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that children need in order to thrive. Are you ready to stand up for a child who needs you?
CASA of Southwest Missouri is an incredible organization with an incredible goal of having an Advocate appointed to every child in foster care in Greene and Christian counties.
