Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County is a volunteer based nonprofit organization that provides a voice for abused and neglected children who are under the legal protection of the court system. Our vision is for every child to feel safe and secure in their home and heart. CASA of Brown County is a member of the National CASA/GAL Association for Children and the Wisconsin CASA Association. We recruit and professionally train CASA volunteers who are supported by our staff. They visit with the child regularly and submit a monthly report to the judge on the child's safety and well-being to help the judge make important decisions about the child's future. A CASA volunteer is often the only consistent adult presence in the life of an abused or neglected child. A child with a CASA volunteer is more likely to get help with other services, spend less time in foster care, find a safe, permanent home, and do better in school!
