"I started my work with children over 10 years ago as a CASA case worker in Chicago. This is by far the most important volunteer work you can do for abused and neglected children. My dream would be for every child in the system to have a CASA volunteer. As a CASA, you represent the best interests of your assigned child, or children, in court. You are thier VOICE. More often than not, family court judges will weigh your opinion heavier than any other perosn in the court room." I encourage you to learn more about this wonderful organization.

For over 26 years, CASA has provided abused and neglected children in Bexar County a unique service that no other agency provides. Last year, Texas Department of Family & Protective Services (aka CPS) confirmed over 5,700 child victims of abuse/neglect in Bexar County. CASA served 1,329 children via 345 dedicated volunteer advocates. The majority of children served are in early childhood, making them most vulnerable due to their small size, dependent nature, and lack of defense capability.
