About
Human services: Like all children, children who have been abused and neglected have dreams. CASA volunteers help these children realize dreams that most children take for granted-to have a stable, loving home and a normal life. Court appointed special advocates (CASAs) are special people who stand up for these vulnerable children and help change their lives. The mission of CASA of SW Missouri is to recruit, train and support community volunteers who assist the court in protecting the best interests of abused and neglected children. During 2018, 9 staff (7 full time, 2 part time) supported 103 CASA volunteers who provided over 3,769 hours of service to 351 children.
