Last year, nearly 1,000 child victims were removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect and placed into the protective care of the state. These children need powerful voices to speak for them. Dallas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a non-profit organization that recruits, trains and supervises volunteers who serve as voices for abused children in court. Judges appoint Dallas CASA volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who have been abused or neglected, helping these children have safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Dallas CASA exists so that abused and neglected children in protective care have the chance to become successful adults. With the help of caring advocates, the cycle of abuse and neglect can be broken.Dallas CASA has a strong and steady history demonstrating its ability to grow the number of children it serves.
