Be For The Child

20,000 children in Tennessee are in need each year.

Someone has to be for the child.

Why not you?

Tennessee currently has 20,000 vulnerable children waiting for CASA volunteers (Court Appointed Special Advocates)  to support them in their search for a safe, loving and permanent home. All it takes to make an impact is a little time and a lot of heart.

All it takes is being a CASA.

We need you to help us grow.

Across the state, over 1,600 CASA Volunteers served over 5,200 children in Tennessee.
But with an estimated 20,000 children in need of a CASA across the state every year,
that means 15,000 are still in need. We can do more... with your help.
 

Each CASA program professionally trains and carefully screens volunteers to become Court Appointed Special Advocates for abused and neglected children in juvenile court. These volunteers represent the best interests of the victimized child with the goal of securing a safe, permanent home.
