About CASA Jefferson


CASA Jefferson's mission is to break the cycle of child abuse and neglect through volunteers advocating for safe, nurturing, and permanent homes for foster children in our community. Children with a CASA advocate gain a voice in the court. Advocates provide constant support and are a source of hope in a child’s life during a very uncertain and lengthy time. CASA advocates help children access resources and services they need to heal from their abuse or neglect as well as providing recommendations to the court that can expedite the process ensuring a better outcome in the best interest of the child.


An advocate is the heart of CASA Jefferson’s mission. Advocates are the eyes, ears, and most importantly, the voices for abused and neglected children in the court. These Advocates are trained and supervised to gather information to make recommendations so that judges decide the best possible outcome for the children in foster care. If you or someone you know would be interested in becoming a volunteer, have them contact Ms. Margaret Ether at mether@casajefferson.org.
