CASA stands for:
Court Appointed Special Advocates
Childwatch CASA of Boyd County
Locally, the Boyd County CASA Program was organized in March 2000 through the
joint efforts of Honorable George Davis and Foster Care Review Board Chairperson
Christy Reaves. The Project now has numerous supporters.
CASA was awarded a National CASA Grant for a period of two years. Since that
time, CASA has become a United Way agency, receives financial support from the
community, and raises money through annual events such as Pennies from Heaven in
the schools and CASA Playhouse.
CASA VOLUNTEERS: ORDINARY PEOPLE DOING EXTRAORDINARY THINGS.
CASA volunteers are ordinary people who are caring, honest and committed to
doing what is best for a child. No special experience or knowledge is required.
As a CASA volunteer, you will be able to work with confidence. All our
volunteers are trained to understand courtroom procedure, social services, the
juvenile justice system and the special needs of children who have been abused
and neglected. We welcome volunteers from all cultures, professions, ethnic and
educational backgrounds.
BE A POWERFUL VOICE IN A CHILD’S LIFE.
