WHY BECOME A CASA ?

Montgomery County CASA Program

WHAT IS CASA

The CASA Program recruits, trains and supports volunteers who serve as advocates to children who are in the court system as victims of abuse and/or neglect. CASA volunteers are appointed by the court. The CASA’s major role is to recommend a course of action to the court that is in the child’s best interest. The ultimate goal is to make sure each child has a safe and permanent home. The Montgomery County CASA Program is certified through the Indiana Office of GAL/CASA and the National Court Appointed Special Advocates Association.

WHY BECOME A CASA

Each year in Montgomery County, a hundred or more children are taken out of their homes because of neglect or abuse, often due to their parents’ involvement with drugs. These children need someone whose sole purpose is to keep only their best interests in mind.

The CASA will make a direct impact on a child’s life and perhaps on lives for generations to come.

WHO CAN BECOME A CASA

A volunteer needs only to be an adult, 21 years of age or older, who wants to help abused and neglected kids. The program provides training, support, and supervision. We welcome volunteers from all cultures, professions, ages, socio-economic backgrounds, ethnic and educational backgrounds. I

VOLUNTEERING IS AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYONE

The Montgomery County CASA program does not discriminate against any individual because of age, race, gender, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic status or handicap in the provision of services or recruitment of volunteers.
