MISSION STATEMENT FROM CASA:

The purpose of CASA is to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Our trained and supported community volunteers build a strong, consistent relationship with each child and their family, promote community resources, and make informed recommendations to the court.

WHAT IS CASA OF DENTON?

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Denton County, Inc. is a volunteer-based non-profit organization serving the Denton County area. CASA volunteers are appointed by the court to serve as advocates for abused or neglected children removed from their homes by Child Protective Services (CPS). These volunteers investigate and monitor a child’s situation in alternative or foster care. Within a twelve to eighteen-month period, they recommend to the presiding judge what permanent placement would be in the child's best interest.

Although professionals in the child welfare system are often overworked and frequently change positions, the CASA volunteer is intended to be a constant presence in the lives of abused and neglected children. By advocating for the child's best interests above all else, CASA hopes to ensure that every child is given the opportunity to grow and thrive in a safe, loving, and permanent home.
