Judges Guy Bradberry and Robert Wyatt, from the 14th Judicial District Family Court, recently swore in Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers.
CASA, a program of Family & Youth, recruits and trains volunteers who advocate in court for the best interests of abused and neglected children. CASA volunteers serve as the eyes and ears of the court, gathering information on each child’s situation. They also serve as the voice of the child, presenting their information, along with fact-based recommendations, to the Family and Juvenile Court Judge, ensuring that the child’s best interests are considered in every decision.
There is no special background required to be a CASA – potential volunteers must be able to pass a criminal background check, have a love of children and a desire to help. For more information about CASA, call 337-436-9533.
