Court Appointed Special Advocates
The CASA of Northwest Arkansas, Inc. mission is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court. We promote and support quality volunteer representation for children to provide each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home.
FROM A CHILD
My CASA worker is extremely devoted to what she does, and I can tell by the way she has shown up to every single court date, even the ones that were just five minutes long. I don’t get many visits here because my parents don’t have custody of me. Having her there just to talk to keeps me from crashing to that low point in my life. During court, I often feel anxious and upset, but my CASA worker assures me that I won’t be harmed by my father.
FROM A CASA VOLUNTEER
From my experiences with my CASA worker, I have learned to be more understanding of others. Whenever the residents of my facility feel upset, I usually refrain from giving advice, but I always give my support and sympathy. I hope to someday take an active part in the foster care system and maybe show someone else that there are wonderful benefits in living and loving yourself.
