CASA, which stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates, is a non-profit organization dedicated to advocating for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. CASA of Southwest Iowa recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers who serve as court-appointed advocates for children in the juvenile court system. These volunteers, known as CASA advocates, provide a consistent and caring presence in a child’s life, ensuring their needs are heard and considered. CASA of Southwest Iowa serves children in Audubon, Cass, Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Montgomery, Page, Pottawattamie, and Shelby counties.
