CASA of Memphis is a court-appointed special advocate program that provides screened, trained, and qualified community volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. These dedicated volunteers gather information, review documents, interview individuals involved in the child's life, and provide written reports to the court. They appear in court, advocate for the child's best interests, and help the child understand the court proceedings. CASA volunteers work independently but closely with various professionals involved in the child's case to ensure the child's welfare and expedite the legal process. With a powerful role in court, CASA significantly improves the administration of justice in dependency and neglect cases. Their reports are used by Juvenile Court Magistrates to make informed decisions regarding the child's best interest, respecting the child's sense of time and avoiding unnecessary delays. CASA volunteers serve as a lifeline for children, offering trust, advocacy, and a means for them to express their opinions and hopes. By giving a child a CASA volunteer, they are given a voice, hope, and the world.Generated from the website
