CASA

CASA, short for Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a volunteer organization that empowers everyday citizens to be officers of the court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases.

Appointed by judges, CASA volunteers typically handle just one case at a time and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home.

CASA volunteers provide the stability that children need in order to thrive. Are you ready to stand up for a child who needs you? Inquire today about the power you have to change a child’s life.

For more information, call 876-3816 or cmccallatlanticcasa@coastalnow.net.
