CASA Corridor of East TennesseePURPOSE AND OBJECTIVE

A CASA Volunteer is a trained community volunteer appointed by a juvenile court judge or referee to advocate for the best interest of children who come to the attention of the court primarily as a result of abuse and/or neglect. A CASA Volunteer is an official part of the judicial proceedings, working alongside attorneys and social workers. By handling only one or two cases at a time, a CASA volunteer has time to thoroughly explore the history and circumstances of each assigned case.
