CASA is a nonprofit program of court appointed special advocates, incorporated under the acronym for Children’s Individual Voices in Court, which recruits and trains community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in the courts.

With CIVIC CASA, volunteers make a long-term commitment to advocate for the best interests of the children by making recommendations to the court, and advocate for services to the children and family with caseworkers with the state Department of Social Services Division of Child Protection Services.
