CASA of Tarrant County and its court-appointed volunteers advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children. From helping siblings find permanent placement together, to finding a child a stable home with a relative, to uncovering positive information that helps a loving family reunite, to something as simple but yet important to that child as ensuring that their shoes are not too tight for their feet, volunteer Advocates make incredible differences in the lives of children. • You’ll talk with the child and with their family members, teachers and others to find out where the child will be happiest and safest: with the parents or another relative, with a loving foster family or through adoption. • You’ll speak for the child in court, making your fact-based recommendation for placement to the judge. • During the life of the case, you’ll act as the one constant in the child’s life as they experience changes in foster placements, schools and caseworkers. You’ll ensure the child's needs are met and the case is resolved swiftly and appropriately.
