Do something extraordinary! Help change the life of a child by becoming a CASA volunteer or donating to the organization!
The essential role of Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Volunteer, who is appointed by the Juvenile Court in Baltimore City, is to advocate for the best interests of their child clients. The Volunteer is typically assigned to one child, establishes a relationship, visits the child wherever the child lives, is given the authority by the Court to review records, interview parents, foster parents, teachers, social workers, attorneys, relatives and other people relevant in the child’s life and thus, becomes informed of the issues that must be addressed and identifies needs each child has that are not served. Armed with this unique relationship and information, the CASA Volunteer provides information and recommendations to the Court in the form of a written report and attends each Court hearing. The Volunteer advocates for permanency, safety, and any services that child needs.
