Golden Crescent CASA recruits, trains, and retains community member volunteers for six judicial court districts and eight counties in our service region. CASA volunteers are appointed Guardian Ad Litem (free of charge) to provide courts critical information about an abused child's needs and best interests once an abused child is removed from their life-threatening home and placed into the foster care system. CASA volunteers make sure the child's best interests are made known, the child isn't overlooked in an overburdened foster care system, and the child is placed into a nurturing and permanent home as quickly as possible.
