Mission Statement

The mission of the Alabama CASA Network, Inc. is to ensure that every abused, neglected and abandoned child in Alabama has a competent, caring volunteer appointed to advocate for the child’s best interest in court.

About This Cause

The Alabama CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Network is committed to promoting awareness of child abuse and neglect in our state through the development of our local CASA programs and encourages efforts to ensure that every abused, neglected and/or abandoned child in Alabama will have a safe, nurturing, permanent home. CASA programs assist the juvenile/family court in carrying out its role in the child services protective services system. The CASA volunteer is the "eyes and ears and often the heart of the court". When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to help them. That volunteer is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA. CASA volunteers are screened and highly trained and then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child’s best interests in the child protection system. CASA volunteers are each assigned to help one child or set of siblings at a time, so they can focus on giving that child or sibling group the individualized advocacy and attention they need. CASA volunteers save taxpayers money and children’s futures by helping children find safe, permanent homes as soon as possible.
