Williamson County CASA is an organization that advocates for the best interests of abused or neglected children in the judicial system, and works daily with a vision to ensure that every child is placed in a safe and permanent home. The nonprofit recruits, trains, and supports citizen volunteers to get to know each child and be by their side, advocating for their best interests in the courtroom and the community.
CASA volunteers – appointed by the Juvenile Judge – ensure that judges have all the information they need to make potentially life-changing decisions for each child.
