CASA of Shawnee County, Inc.

CASA of Shawnee County is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization that advocates for the best interest of abused and neglected youth in the court system, promoting greater outcomes and the opportunity to thrive. Since January, there have been 262 Child In Need of Care cases filed in Shawnee County. Help us serve these children by volunteering today. With your help we can make a difference in the life of a child.

Court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) advocate for the best-interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. CASA volunteers work with child welfare professionals, educators and service providers to ensure that judges have the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child. No other individual has the depth of knowledge that a CASA volunteer has. Having a CASA volunteer can be a life-changing difference for a child. Your voice is needed now more than ever. An increasing number of children in Shawnee County do not have a CASA volunteer assigned to their case.
