The mission of the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Chautauqua County is to provide an independent voice in court, advocating for the best interest of abused and neglected children in the pursuit of finding safe and permanent homes. CASA of Chautauqua County, Inc. relies on highly trained volunteers who are appointed by a Chautauqua County Family Court judge to advocate for children in court. These volunteers work with relevant agencies and parties (social workers, medical providers, foster parents, biological parents, teachers) in order to advocate for the best interest of the child. With the information provided by the CASA volunteer, Family Court judges are better able to make informed decisions as to what is best for the child. 

 

CASA of Chautauqua County recruits, trains and supports everyday volunteers. In 2021 our 32 CASA volunteers advocated for the needs of 65 children. Since inception in 2003, CASA of Chautauqua County has provided advocacy for 468 abused and neglected children.
