Mission: Casa is a unique non-profit helping abused and neglected children in the jackson
Programs: Jackson county casa served 1,250 abused and neglected children, birth to 21 years of age, who are under the supervision of jackson county family court. Our children live in temporary placement facilities, foster homes, with relatives, in treatment facilities, or hospitals. By providing them with a trained casa volunteer, a casa case supervisor, and a casa staff attorney, jackson county casa works to ensure each child is placed in a safe, permanent home and receives appropriate educational, medical, and therapeutic resources while under court jurisdiction. In 2015 jackson county casa also launched our new older foster youth program, to help teens, ages 14 to 21, at risk of aging out of the foster care system, develop plans for successful independent living. Our new program also provides casa youth with ongoing support through age 26.
