Court-Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) exists to provide a qualified and compassionate court-appointed volunteer advocate to every child who is abused and neglected, to ensure the fundamental human right of having a safe, nurturing, and permanent home is met.

Our view: Diamonds for CASA program, volunteers
Diamonds to those who run the Luzerne County Court Appointed Special Advocates program, to those who volunteer to serve as advocates for children and to any future volunteers out there. Consider becoming one yourself. CASA volunteers advocate on behalf of physically or sexually abused children, getting to know the child, the family, the circumstances and using what they learn to give the child support and court officials insight.
