CASA of Campbell County

In 1977, a Seattle judge conceived the idea of using trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court. So successful was this program that soon judges across the country began utilizing citizen advocates. In 1990, the US Congress encouraged the expansion of CASA programs with passage of the Victims of Child Abuse Act.

Our mission is to provide trained special advocates for physically abused, sexually abused and/or neglected children under court protection in order to insure that they receive all required medical, educational and psychological services and are placed in safe and permanent homes as quickly as possible.
