CASA volunteers appointed by judges to speak up for abused and neglected children. They work, with confidence, as thoroughly trained advocates for the children they represent.



Volunteers investigate a child's history, facilitate communication between concerned adults, advocate for services and appropriate placement, and ultimately make recommendations to the judge in that child's best interest.



CASA volunteers come from all walks of life. A willingness to listen, concern for children in your community, and determination are all qualities that would make you a valuable volunteer.



We are seeking volunteers from all cultures, professions, ethnic and educational backgrounds.



The mission of Washington State CASA is to support member CASA/GAL programs in providing trained volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children in the court system.



The Washington State Association of Court Appointed Special Advocate/Guardian ad Litem Programs (CASA/GAL), founded in 1988, provides technical support and training to CASA/VGAL programs in Washington State, their staff and volunteers. The local programs are court-administered, stand-alone non-profits, established under umbrella agencies, or tribal court affiliated. More than 500 individuals are members of the Association which is registered as a 501(c) (3).
