The CASA program works give a voice to children who have been subjected to abuse, abandonment and negelct. The majority of whom are under the age of six and the least able to speak on their own behalf. CASA matches a trained volunteer, called a Guardian ad Litem or GAL, with each child. The CASA volunteer provides individualized attention to each child placed in foster care and serves as an objective third party advocate representing the child’s needs. Volunteers are seen as the eyes and ears of the child and provide a Court judge with an unbiased opinion of what is in a child's "best interest."
