About CASA of Northwest Arkansas
More than 1,033 children in Northwest Arkansas found themselves in the foster care system last year through no fault of their own.
The mission of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Northwest Arkansas is to provide compassionate volunteers who advocate for the abused and neglected children in foster care. We are committed to ensuring a consistent voice, safe home, and promising future for these precious children.
A CASA volunteer serves as:
- An impartial observer, conducting an independent investigation
- An information gatherer, obtaining all relevant facts about the child
- A monitor, ensuring that the court's orders are carried out
- A reporter, submitting written reports to the court
- A consistent and caring adult, bringing calm and hope to a child during an incredibly turbulent time
Research shows that a child with a CASA volunteer
- does better in school,
- is more likely to find a safe, permanent home, and
- spends less time in foster care and is less likely to be bounced from home to home
Your donation will empower our volunteers, these everyday citizens, who speak up for the safety and well-being of children who have been removed from their homes due to parental abuse and neglect.
Join the movement of generosity on NWA Gives Day by making a donation to CASA of Northwest Arkansas.
