Volunteer: Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)YOU can help change a child's story as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). There are 150-200 children in our region at any given time who are waiting for a CASA volunteer advocate to be trained and assigned to their case. Through no fault of their own, children have experienced abuse and neglect and are involved in the family court system. They need someone like you, to be a safe adult role-model and voice for them in court, in school, and with other support agencies to ensure their best interests are represented. For over 40 years, CASA has been serving children in Jefferson County. Our service area has grown over time to also include Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer and Trimble Counties. Volunteers must be 21 years of age, complete an application & interview, and pass background checks. CASAs come from many diverse personal and professional backgrounds. Our staff provides comprehensive training to give you the tools to be an effective advocate as well as ongoing support. After initial training, CASAs devote about 1-4 hours per week to their cases.
