Advocating for children in Wood County since 1988.

Volunteering is one of the most rewarding things you can do.

There are dozens of children in Wood County in need of a CASA volunteer right now.

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers are appointed by a judge to advocate for a child’s best interest in the court system.

Volunteers are community members of all walks of life who commit to directly help children who are experiencing abuse and neglect. Many of these children are in the foster care system.
