CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, recruits, screens,
trains and supervises volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children
involved in the court system to help secure a permanent, safe home.
Tri-County CASA, Inc. has been in operation since 2001 and serves children in
foster care settings in Uvalde, Real and Medina Counties.
Tri-County CASA relies heavily on the support of its volunteer pool who are highly
trained individuals giving their time to make a difference in the life of a child. A
CASA volunteer completes a 30 hour training program before being sworn in by a
judge and assigned to a case.
Cases involving CASA volunteers are usually cases where children have been
removed from their parents care, placed in a relative’s home or foster placement,
and the judge presiding sees a special need for the case to have the additional support
of a CASA. CASA’s visit children, attend court hearings and other meetings
involving the welfare of the children in the case, and report to a CASA staff
supervisor as well as to the judge hearing the case. The CASA plays an important
role in determining the child’s wellbeing while in foster care as well as makes
recommendations as to whether it is in the best interest of the child to return home.
