Volunteer: Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)YOU can help change a child’s story as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). At any given time, 150–200 children in our region are waiting for a trained CASA volunteer to be assigned to their case. Through no fault of their own, these children have experienced abuse or neglect and are involved in the family court system. They need a consistent, caring adult—someone like you—to serve as their voice in court, in school, and with service providers, ensuring their best interests are heard and protected. For more than 40 years, CASA has served children in Jefferson County, and our service area has grown to include Bullitt, Henry, Oldham, Shelby, Spencer, and Trimble Counties. CASA volunteer advocates must be 21 years of age, complete an application and interview, and pass background checks. Volunteers come from a wide range of personal and professional backgrounds. CASA of the River Region now offers streamlined, flexible training options designed to fit a variety of schedules, making it easier than ever to get started. Our staff provides comprehensive training, ongoing guidance, and continuous support so you feel confident and prepared in your role. After initial training, CASA volunteers typically devote 1–4 hours per week to their cases. A child is waiting for a volunteer like YOU.
