Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Clark County, Las Vegas, Nevada, believes that all children have the right to safe, healthy, stable homes, free from abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers are trained to advocate for abused and neglected children in the Clark County Family Court. The CASA volunteer, serving as a court appointed advocate for the child, will prevent the child from getting lost in the system by being sensitive to the child's needs and presenting these needs to the Court. Through these advocacy efforts, the CASA volunteer is working with the court to ensure that every child has a chance for a brighter future.
CASA volunteer advocates are sworn court officers trained to work one-on-one with these children and are best equipped to advocate for what the child needs, and to serve as trusted mentors and friends. CASA volunteers help make sure that the educational, medical and practical needs of these children are identified and met.

Over 2,500 children in Clark County live in foster care because of abuse or neglect.
Every day abused and neglected children are taken from their homes and placed into foster care because their parents cannot - or will not take care of them.
Adrift in an overburdened public social services system, these children urgently need safe and permanent homes, educational and healthcare services, and the support of a responsible and caring adult.
