(ROCKWALL COUNTY, TX – Nov. 16, 2016) Lone Star CASA volunteers are Court Appointed Special Advocates who help children in Kaufman and Rockwall Counties. They are appointed by a judge to discover the best possible outcome for abused or neglected children in foster care. It is the goal of the CASA volunteer that every one of these children is in a safe, permanent home in a timely manner.
You don’t have to be a lawyer or social worker to be a volunteer. They welcome volunteers from all cultures, professions, and educational backgrounds. They are looking for people with a desire to help abused children.
