Vision
The vision for CASA of the 2nd Judicial District is to change a child’s story. Our goal is to ensure every abused and neglected child has a voice in court, a friend by their side, and give them the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home.
Mission
Our mission is to recruit, train, and support volunteers who serve as advocates for children that have been placed in foster care, due to abuse or neglect. Our volunteers will continue advocating for these children until they have reached safe and permanent homes.
