How to Get Involved

Help Us Serve Every Child

CASA of the Tennessee Valley serves juvenile courts in Loudon, Morgan, and Roane Counties. In the year ending June 30th, 30 CASA volunteers have served 98 children in those three counties in 2020. Yet, some children referred by the court went without a CASA because of the shortage of volunteers.

CASA is a nationwide concept that is implemented locally. Members of the community give some of their time and energy to advocate for local children caught in abusive and neglectful situations. These advocates are trained and supported by CASA, an organization that is locally governed and funded by locally-generated funds.

You can help our communities move toward the goal of “seeing that every child in the juvenile court system has an advocate on their side.”

Donate

CASA of the Tennessee Valley is a locally chartered and governed not-for-profit agency, serving abused and neglected children in the juvenile courts of Loudon, Morgan, and Roane counties, all a part of the Tennessee Valley. We are a member of the National CASA Association and the Tennessee CASA Association, adhering to national and state program training standards. We are a stand-alone organization responsible for its own funding and management, governed by a volunteer board with leaders from each of the three counties.

Volunteer

Being a Court Appointed Special Advocate is special work – it can be very challenging, but also exceptionally rewarding. Each volunteer advocate is trained and empowered to fight for the child’s right to thrive in the safe embrace of a loving home. Effective volunteer advocates come from all circumstances and walks of life. To explore whether this special work is right for you, please contact us or complete the online application form.
