Review for CASA Of Central Texas, Inc., New Braunfels, TX, USA
One of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had was working as a court appointed special advocate. It was an opportunity to interact with a child who was going through some very difficult family situations and make sure that his best interests were always served, as his case was moved through Child Protective Services and the court system. As the eyes and ears of the judge I was able to relate to the court, the child's progress or lack of it. The judge usually sided with my observations. I believe I was able to really make a difference in the life of my child.

They are unable to give personal attention to each child. Since the CASA advocates for the individual child, he or she does not get lost or caught up in the system. CASA makes a real difference in each child served.
