CASA volunteers are screened, comprehensively trained, and supervised by CASA program staff to provide consistent, caring support for abused and neglected children throughout a child's time in Connecticut's child protection system.
CASA volunteers:
- Develop relationships with their case children and routinely assess their well being
- Check in with teachers, care providers, and service providers
- Recommend necessary services for their case children
- Submit periodic reports to the Court with recommendations on what’s in the child’s best-interests.
