Juvenile Court - CASA
Show All Answers
1.
What is CASA?
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), sometimes referred to as a Guardian ad Litem (GAL). These people are trained community volunteers appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interests of an abused, neglected, or dependent child in court.
A CASA/GAL provides a judge with a carefully researched background of the child to help the court make a sound decision about the child's future.
The CASA/GAL makes a recommendation on placement and services and, most importantly, monitors the case until it is resolved.
2.
Can anyone be a CASA?
CASA/GALs are ordinary citizens. No special or legal background is required; however, volunteers are screened closely for objectivity, competence and commitment.
CASA/GAL volunteers must be at least 21 years old and not a current foster parent in Greene County.
Individuals must successfully complete a background check.
