How you help |
---|
About us | Boone County CASA began in 1991, under the umbrella of Human Services, which funded and administered the program for two years. When the affiliation with Human Services ended in June 1993, four active CASA volunteers formed a board, incorporated and began the search for funding to keep the program alive. CASA takes all cases of child abuse or neglect that go through the Juvenile Court. These children deserve to have an adult who is advocating for their best interest. |
