Arkansas CASA
Little Rock, Arkansas
Statewide court-supported network routing prospective volunteers to trained local advocacy for children involved in dependency-neglect cases.
Arkansas CASA supports local Court Appointed Special Advocate programs that recruit and train qualified volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. A CASA volunteer gets to know the child and speaks with parents, relatives, foster parents, teachers, medical professionals, attorneys, social workers, and others, then helps inform the court about the child's needs and a safe permanent home. The statewide page provides an inquiry form and local-program directory but does not publish one universal eligibility checklist, so applicants must complete the requirements assigned by the receiving program.
