Dallas C.A.S.A.

On an average day in Dallas County, more than 2,000 children who have been removed from their homes are waiting for the courts to decide where they can safely and permanently live.

Dallas CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a nonprofit organization of volunteers who are trained and supervised to advocate for the best interests of children in protective care and to make recommendations that help judges decide what is best for each child. A CASA volunteer is often the one constant during a frightening, uncertain time in a child's life. Sadly, we are able to serve only one-third of the children in Dallas who need a CASA voice in court. With that said, we are always in constant need of more volunteer advocates, more supervisors to assist each advocate, and more financial contributions to keep the organization running and growing.
