Specialized Volunteer Training

We provide thorough, hands-on training to prepare our CASA volunteers for the important responsibility of advocacy. Our program covers essential topics such as trauma-informed care, courtroom procedures, child development, and effective communication, ensuring every volunteer is ready to stand strong for the children they serve.

Community Engagement

We believe strong communities build stronger futures. Through outreach events, partnerships, and public education efforts, Eddy County CASA connects with individuals, businesses, and organizations across our area to raise awareness and recruit passionate advocates for children.

Why CASA Matters?

At Eddy County CASA, we believe every child deserves a voice. Our volunteers stand up for children in foster care, building one-on-one relationships that offer support, stability, and hope. In a system that can often feel overwhelming, CASA volunteers ensure each child's needs and wishes are heard in the courtroom and beyond—making a lasting difference in their lives and futures.


CASA's Impact:
✅ Children with a CASA volunteer are more likely to find a safe, permanent home.
✅ CASA volunteers often serve as the one consistent adult in a child's life during a time of change. ✅ Kids with CASA advocates are more likely to succeed in school.
✅ Judges highly value CASA volunteers' reports when making critical decisions.
✅ Children with a CASA volunteer spend less time in foster care on average.
