Review for CASA For York County, York, NE, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

I have been a CASA volunteer for one year. There are too many children that are in difficult and unsafe
situations of abuse and neglect. Situations range from drug involvement, mental illness, poverty, and all of the above. Parents in these situations are often unable or unwilling to provide a safe and secure home. All reasonable efforts are made to keep families together.

CASA is interested in the best interest of the child being provided.

CASA volunteers take the time to observe and find facts of the situations in order to make
recommendations to the court about what is in the child's best interest. It is a serious task, and often
difficult to determine. We are the eyes and ears of the court. The court system has many players, who
can have their own agendas. Our only concern is what is best for the child. It is important to remind the court what is in the best interests of the child, as sometimes the legal process drags on to the detriment of the child obtaining a safe and secure home.
