CASA is an immediate way of helping children. The Washington, Pa office has all the support you need to make a difference in a child's life. The office gives you training, sets you up to succeed, helps you report to the court, and any hand holding you need to help the child get through the court system without blaming themselves with the case. This is a fantastic support system with the Judge holding you in high esteem for your efforts. I have been doing this for over five years and I cannot think of a better way of using my time for helping anyone.
