The Need for Volunteers...
In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by Family Court judges, CASA volunteers typically handle one case at a time—and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that a child needs in order to thrive.
It Starts With You...
Your local CASA programs offer a volunteer opportunity like no other. As officers of the court, CASA volunteers, also known in Hawaii as Volunteer Guardians ad Litem (VGAL’s), are empowered to make a lifelong difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.
Last year nationally, over 59,000 CASA and VGAL volunteers advocated for 243,000 children—an impressive number yet just half of the children in the child welfare system at any given time. Our volunteers are a powerful force for good, but we need more of them. Our vision is that every child who needs a volunteer will have one. With your help, we can reach that goal.
