  1. Court Appointed Special Advocates® (CASA) are community volunteers, just like you, who stand up and speak out to help children who have experienced abuse and neglect. We need men and women who are willing to commit 10 hours per month to make a direct impact for our children. And make no mistake, these are OUR children. They are children you pass in the store, or see on the playground. They are in the same classroom as your children and grandchildren. Like every child, these children need someone to step up and be their voice, to support them in their time of need.

  2. How can I get involved?

    We’re always on the lookout for individuals like you, who want to make a difference. For more information on how to get involved, email karli@casafranklincounty.org.

  3. We have a responsibility to our community and our donors and we work hard to ensure long-term sustainability of the organization. Our organization is funded greatly by community donations and grants. We use these funds to train our advocates, ensure that our children are receiving the best care possible, and by ensuring the future of our children outside of the foster care system. You can guarantee any funds donated to our organization are being put to good use and are being used to change a child's story.

  4. Our organization takes our privacy policy seriously and takes steps to protect and ensure the safety of our supporters. We do not sell or otherwise disclose information about our volunteers or supporters outside of our immediate organization. This policy has no exceptions. We do not sell or exchange your information with any other organizations, public, private, or nonprofit. It is important to us that our children, advocates, and supporters feel safe with our organization.
