CASA is an acronym for "Court Appointed Special Advocate" for children

Genesee County CASA is a private, non-profit organization whose purpose is to train and supervise a diverse group of volunteers to advocate for children who have been abused and/or neglected.  These children are at risk of being removed from their homes or have already been placed into the foster care system. CASA's goal is to ensure that all of these children have safe and permanent homes as quickly as possible.

Once a volunteer has received throughout training and been sworn in by our local Family Court Judge, they are assigned to their very own case. The CASA meets and talks to parents, foster parents, teachers, principals, social workers, counselors, case workers, the child's attorney, medical professionals and anyone else who may have relevant information on the well-being of the child(ren).  The CASA then gathers all factual information and writes a report to the court approximately every 60 days which is seen by all parties involved in the case, including the Judge.  With more information in hand, the Judge can make the best informed decision as possible as to what should happen next in the lives of the children involved.

The only way a CASA can become involved in a case is through assignment by The Honorable Judge Adams, our local Family Court Judge.  At times, attorneys for the children have been known to also request a CASA be assigned to their case. 

The COVID pandemic has greatly increased the number of individuals and families facing financial insecurity.
