| How you help | The CASA volunteer helps to assure that children don’t get “lost in the system” and remain in foster care for many years. Volunteers can restore confidence that placements of children are truly in the best interest of each child. Today there are 42 CASA volunteers, 2 paid staff members. CASA serves 256 children each year. |

| About us | Boone County CASA began in 1991, under the umbrella of Human Services, which funded and administered the program for two years. When the affiliation with Human Services ended in June 1993, four active CASA volunteers formed a board, incorporated and began the search for funding to keep the program alive. CASA takes all cases of child abuse or neglect that go through the Juvenile Court. These children deserve to have an adult who is advocating for their best interest. |
