Kids in foster care need CASA Volunteers. A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained community volunteer, sworn in by a judge or commissioner, who is appointed by Jackson County CASA to advocate for a child or children who are in the Jackson County Family Court system due to abuse or neglect.

CASA Volunteers get to know the children they represent, learn and understand the child’s situation, develop a plan with the CASA team, explain the court process to the child, and work toward getting the child into a safe, permanent home with family whenever possible.
