CASA of Lincoln County
   
  Welcome to the official website for CASA Lincoln County
Community volunteers called Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteer to step into courtrooms on behalf of abused and neglected children.  This unique concept was implemented as a pilot program in January 1977. During that first year, the program provided 110 trained CASA volunteers for 498 children in 376 dependency cases. The National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association in Seattle , Washington provides leadership and technical support to new and existing programs. Over the past twenty five years, tens of thousands of CASA volunteers have served hundreds of thousands of abused and neglected children. Today the National CASA Association acknowledges 950 CASA programs across the country, including Washington D.C. and Virgin Islands.

“The lawyers know the statutes, the social workers the regulations. But the CASA volunteer is assigned to know the child, one child at a time, to understand the boundaries of her life, to telephone her teachers, to consider her hopes and dreams, to try to come to some conclusion about what will be in her best interests. For children whose pasts have been chaotic and whose futures are uncertain, the CASA volunteer may be the most consistent, interested presence in their lives.”
  Our next Advocate Training is being held

Although we cannot provide you with monetary rewards, there are many benefits to being a CASA volunteer.

We realize that not everyone has the availability of time to be a CASA for a child, but may still want to contribute. Donations of time and assistance are needed with fundraisers, becoming a board member, mentoring volunteers, general office assistance, assistance with conferences and trainings, donation of food, donation of money, and the list goes on. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer in any capacity please email us at volunteers@casalincolncounty.org
