Mission Statement
CASA's mission is to provide a meaningful voice and connection that instills hope and builds resilience for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Our vision is to create a community where every child who has experienced abuse and neglect is given the opportunity to thrive.
About This Cause
Since 1985, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) has empowered abused and neglected children with a volunteer’s voice in court by seeking a safe and permanent home for each child. The program recruits, trains and supports community volunteers who act as advocates in court on behalf of child victims of abuse or neglect. As these children enter the court system, they may feel alone, frightened or unheard. CASA volunteers play a crucial role by monitoring a child’s situation and reporting findings to the court. More importantly, they are also a caring and trusting adult presence in a child’s life. Each year, CASA volunteers within Johnson and Wyandotte Counties dedicate more than 14,000 hours to children. Every hour focused on the same goal - to give each child a chance at happiness and the stability that all kids need in order to thrive. The agency serves more than 400 local children each year, helping to provide a safe and permanent home. By supporting the program, CASA will continue to work toward the goal to one day serve every child in the community who is in need of a friend and CASA advocate.
