Mission

The mission of the Oklahoma CASA Association is to present a statewide voice for abused and neglected children by enhancing the growth of CASA programs throughout Oklahoma.

General Information

Every year, thousands of children in Oklahoma are removed from their homes because of evidence of abuse and neglect. Oklahoma Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Association and its 20 local members of the Oklahoma CASA network are working hard to make sure that every child who needs an advocate for his or her best interests before the courts, has a caring, trained adult to help them through this difficult period of his or her life.

CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and speak up for abused and neglected children to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service systems or languish in the foster care system. CASA volunteers stay with each child until he or she is placed in a safe, permanent home and the case is closed. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer is the one constant in their lives and often, the one adult who cares only for them.
