Virtual CASA Informational Session
Child and Family Advocates of Cuyahoga County invite you to become an advocate for abused and neglected children.
What is a CASA volunteer? A Court Appointed Special Advocate is a trained community volunteer appointed by the Juvenile Court to represent the best interests of an abused or neglected child. This one-hour session will provide information about the role of a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer and the process in which our volunteers advocate for children who have been abused or neglected in Cuyahoga County.
