Other Ways to Help

We understand that not everyone can take on an active caseload with a CASA program. However, there are other important ways you can help and make a difference:

  • Become a donor
  • Offer pro-bono services or resources
  • Volunteer for local CASA events
  • Invite a CASA representative to speak to your church, fraternity, sorority or civic/social organization to encourage others to become involved
  • Encourage your elected officials to enforce laws that protect children
  • Tell a friend and help spread the word
