Court Appointed Special Advocates® - CASAs - are community members just like YOU who undergo extensive training to stand up in family court to advocate for the best interests of children who have been or are at risk of being removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect.  

 

Training is offered virtually and is co-facilitated by CASA of New York State and local program staff. Daytime and evening sessions are available.

 

Reach out TODAY to register for our next training class, which begins on January 27th, 2026!

Our CASA program belongs to a network of over 950 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities.

"As the Judge, I particularly value CASA's advocacy role for the best interests of the children. Reports from CASA provide important information to the Court about the current situation and needs of the children. CASA's efforts frequently result in  Court-ordered services that are vital to the well being of the children"

- Retired Family Court Judge John J. Rivoli
