Ordinary People Doing Extraordinary Things
Twice yearly training program starts September 13, 2010 at 6pm.
CASA volunteers are ordinary people who are committed to doing what is best for a child. As a CASA volunteer, you will be able to work with confidence. All of our volunteers are thoroughly trained in courtroom procedure, social services, the juvenile justice system, and the special needs of abused and neglected children.
We welcome volunteers from all cultures, professions, and ethnic and educational backgrounds. We have a particular need for men and people of color.

YOUR TURN.
Here's what the Volunteers are saying
I felt God placed this calling before me to help my fellow man and what better way to do that than with our future (our children). I want to be able to make their lives more rewarding. No child should have to endure a hardship. If only we can get the parents to see this. Being a blessing to our children is my aim with CASA."
- Bill McChester, CASA Volunteer
I signed up with CASA in California after seeing pictures in our local newspaper of the filthiest house I had ever seen in my life. Even when the police arrived they gagged at the stench and especially when they found two small children living there. I said to myself, "How can any 'parent' allow children to live in such squalor so I asked around where I could help to prevent such abuse and I was lead to CASA. Their overwhelming concern for improving children's lives thru the court and social service by becoming an extra set of eyes was definitely an area I could be of help. I have seen how the programs in Mississippi benefit families through counseling and education as the goal ALWAYS is to reunite families when possible."
- Mary Ellen Spalding, CASA Volunteer
Our adult class at church wanted to reach out to vulnerable children in a tangible way, and I came across CASA. Making the call to CASA was the best thing I could have done to come face to face with children in need."
- Al Sturgeon, former CASA Volunteer
I came from an abusive home. It was sometimes mental, physical and often emotional. As a child, many times, I felt helpless to do anything. As an adult, I still get emotional when I see a father with his arm proudly around his daughter and wonder what she must feel like. As a CASA volunteer we sometimes get to make that happen for someone else."
