Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Jefferson County — Speaking Up for Abused and Neglected Children

More than 14,000 of Alabama’s most vulnerable children are attending court hearings, adjusting to new homes and navigating the child welfare system every day. CASA volunteers are trained to advocate for the best interests of these children.

Our goal is to provide a dedicated CASA volunteer for every abused and neglected child to give them a voice and help them thrive in a safe and loving home. With your support, Together We Will achieve that goal.

CASA of Jefferson County, despite being a volunteer-driven organization, requires funding for a variety of reasons.

CASA has a paid staff to manage operations, recruit and train volunteers, provide ongoing support to volunteers, and maintain communication with the courts and community partners. We have administrative costs, such as utilities, confidential data management technology, and we are proud to offer health insurance to our hard-working staff.

CASA volunteers undergo extensive training to be effective advocates for children. This training requires resources, including training materials, staff time, and sometimes external trainers.

Ongoing staff support and supervision for volunteers is essential to ensure their well-being and effectiveness. This includes providing resources, training updates, and confidential support.

CASA staff must oversee the work of volunteers, ensuring they are meeting the needs of their assigned children. This includes case management, monitoring, and providing guidance. Regular assessments and progress reports are required to track the well-being of children and the effectiveness of advocacy efforts.

CASA raises awareness about child abuse and neglect, the importance of advocacy, and the role of CASA volunteers. Outreach efforts, such as public speaking, media campaigns, and community events, are essential to recruit volunteers and build support for the organization.

That’s a little bit about us. We think our kids are worth all the above and more. How about you? Will you consider supporting CASA on this #givingtuesday?
