Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Hampshire provides a voice for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect by empowering a statewide network of trained volunteers to advocate on their behalf so they can heal and thrive in safe, permanent homes. CASA’s volunteers are ordinary, caring people who can make an extraordinary impact in a child’s life. CASA volunteers gather information about a child and all the adults in that child’s life in order to make recommendations to the court on what’s in the child’s best interests. Volunteers are also often the one consistent and reliable presence in a child’s life in a system where other adults frequently come and go. CASA volunteers provide children with both critical advocacy and an adult they can rely on to stand by their side during a frightening and uncertain time in their lives. The funds we raise this month will go towards recruitment training and supervision of volunteers so that they can serve more vulnerable children
