CASA of Baltimore’s mission is to provide a voice for children involved in the juvenile court system, ensuring that abused and neglected children are placed in safe permanent homes and that consideration is given to their educational, medical and social service needs. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Baltimore recruits, trains, and supervises volunteers, appointed to individual foster children by the Baltimore City Juvenile Court, to provide written, objective recommendations to the Court, to serve as a consistent adult presence, and to monitor that child's well-being.

Description

CASA of Baltimore needs dedicated, committed men and women who care about children. As a CASA volunteer you receive training from professional staff and the tools and support you need to aid in your work. CASA volunteers are appointed by a Judge to provide consistent and caring support on behalf of an innocent child involved with the Court due to neglect or abuse. CASA volunteers provide important and effective advocacy, helping the children by helping the Juvenile Court to have comprehensive and objective information about these families.
