Jackson County Guardian ad Litem/Court Appointed Special Advocates is a nonprofit volunteer-powered program that provides advocacy to child victims of abuse and neglect to ensure they remain at the forefront of the court proceedings and find a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible.

The program currently has 25 volunteers and staff giving a voice to more than 70 children in Jackson County; however, the wait list continues to grow. Anyone who has five to 10 hours per month to give an abused or neglect child a voice can become a CASA volunteer.
