All children deserve shelter and love. Yet, each year in Nashville, nearly 2,000 children are abused, neglected or abandoned by their own families. Removed from their homes and placed in foster care or institutions, they eventually end up in court where a judge decides their fate. Help CASA's unpaid Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers find safe and permanent homes for Nashville's children.

I am for the Child

CASA provides trained community volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who come to the attention of the court primarily as a result of abuse or neglect.

Last Year in Nashville, over 2000 children were caught up in the court because they were abused, neglected or abandoned by those they loved and trusted the most.

Fortunately, there is an organization that puts these children first. It's called CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. Staffed almost entirely by non-paid volunteers, CASA can make a real difference in the lives of children at risk.

CASA's mission is to expedite the process through which these abused and neglected children find permanent, safe homes.
