Michigan Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) invites you to a night of advocacy as we experience the difference a CASA volunteer can make in the life of a child experiencing abuse or neglect.
More than 10,000 children in Michigan are currently in foster care as a result of abuse or neglect. Many experience deep instability and isolation, and studies show that children with a CASA volunteer tend to have fewer behavioral events at school and perform better academically than those without one.
CASA volunteers are trained community members who meet regularly with a child, learn the details of their case, and advocate for their best interests in court. They remain a consistent, caring presence throughout the child’s time in foster care—helping ensure their voice is heard and their future is protected.
Your support can help change a child’s story.
