Jackson County Casa

5
Jackson County CASA was founded in 1983 to ensure that abused and neglected children in our metropolitan area are given a voice in Court. We have two goals: (1) to secure a safe, permanent home for the child; and, (2) to advocate for appropriate medical, educational, and therapeutic resources while the child is under Court jurisdiction.

CASA's children have come into the system due to their caregivers’ poor parenting skills, substance abuse, mental health issues, and poverty. They have been victimized by neglect, violence, and sexual abuse and face unstable housing arrangements, food insecurity, poor support systems, and inconsistent health care. Most CASA children live in temporary placement facilities, foster homes, with relatives, or in treatment facilities. More than 70% of the children we serve are minorities. Nearly all are indigent.

For over 30 years Jackson County CASA has been providing effective guardian ad litem services to these children by recruiting, training, and supporting CASA Volunteer Advocates. Working as a team with our CASA Case Supervisors and CASA Staff Attorneys, our heroic CASA volunteers help these children navigate the maze of the child welfare and Family Court systems and work to find them a safe, permanent home.
