Over two thousand of Clark County’s children are victims of abuse and neglect and are living in foster care.
February - 25 - 2010
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.
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.
