What is C.A.S.A.?
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. CASA Volunteers are ordinary people doing extraordinary things for abused children. CASA of Southeast Texas, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization serving Jefferson County since 1992. CASA was started in Seattle, Washington in 1977 by a judge to make sure that abused and neglected children did not suffer further in an overburdened and complex child welfare system.
You do not have to be a lawyer or social worker to become a CASA volunteer. These abused children simply need dedicated and devoted men and women willing to advocate for their best interests. Being a CASA volunteer requires no specialized degrees or legal experience. It does require special people age 21 or over who have:
A concern for children,
A genuine desire to help,
The ability to remain objective,
The maturity to deal with emotional situations,
The commitment to complete a 33 hour training course,
Willingness to submit to background checks,
Sensitivity to people who are different from themselves,
Access to transportation and a flexible schedule, and
A willingness to devote at least one year to a child's case.
