You can make a difference in a child's life

As we commemorate Black History Month, it's essential to reflect on the significance of diversity and representation within organizations like CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) for Douglas County. While the child welfare system aims to support children and families from all backgrounds, the reality is that Black children and families are disproportionately represented within the system. While addressing this disparity, it becomes crucial to empower and recruit diverse advocates representative of the children we serve.
CASA for Douglas County has scheduled the 4th Annual CASA Classic golf tournament for August 26, 2024 and are excited to announce Joe Miller & Holton Harman as the 4th Annual CASA Classic chairs!
CASA for Douglas County celebrated the holiday season with its annual Children's Holiday Party on December 8th, bringing together volunteer advocates and the children they serve for a magical evening. At the heart of the event is the joy of giving, with CASA ensuring that each child's wish is fulfilled with a small gift of their choice and a board game.
CASA Volunteers impact our whole community.

I love being a CASA!
I love being a CASA because I’ve gotten to know my CASA kids so well in the past two years and it always makes me happy to be able to give them a little break from the craziness of life and just hang out with them!
