ABOUT
CASA
We strive to give a voice to every child who is a ward of the court in Polk County due to abuse and neglect. We accomplish this through representation by a CASA volunteer who is dedicated to advocating for the child’s best interest in court with the ultimate goal of a safe and permanent home for every child.
