What We Do
When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a committed volunteer to help them. That volunteer is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate®, or CASA. CASA volunteers are screened and highly trained and then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child’s best interests in the child protection system.
OUR MISSION & VISION
CASA for Kids of South Central Texas recruits, trains and supports court-appointed volunteers who advocate for the best interest of the children in foster care so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home and the opportunity to thrive.
Our Vision:
To provide a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) to all children of Austin, Colorado, Waller and Washington Counties in the foster care system who have experience abuse or neglect the opportunity to thrive in a safe, stable and loving home
Become a CASA
A CASA Volunteer is a consistent presence in a child’s life during their time in foster care. A CASA advocates for the child and provides valuable information to the judge to help ensure a child’s best interests are met.

What does a CASA Volunteer Do?
When a family is in crisis and becomes involved in the child welfare system, a Court Appointed Advocate (CASA) volunteer may be appointed by a judge to advocate for the child.
This highly trained volunteer is someone from the child’s community whose responsibility is to get to know the child and their family and advocate for their safety, permanency and well-being while in foster care. This is just one example of the difference a CASA volunteer can make in a child’s life.
