Court Appointed Special AdvocateCASA volunteers get to know the child and speak to everyone involved in the child’s life, including their family members, teachers, attorneys, social workers, therapists, psychiatrists, and others, who are knowledgeable about the child’s history and/or current situation. The CASA volunteer may also review school records, social worker reports and other relevant documents pertaining to the child (ren). |

|---|
| About us | On or about June 1980, under the leadership of the Honorable John Mendoza, the CASA program of Las Vegas was established with the support of the women from the Junior League of Las Vegas.From 1980 to 2022, the CASA Program has grown from 15 to 400 trained volunteers. The overall goal of the CASA Program is to recruit, screen, train and support CASA volunteers. These volunteers become Officers of the Court and are appointed by a Judge to advocate for the best interest of abused or neglected children, through an independent assessment of the case facts and getting to know all parties involved on the case, especially the children. The primary focus of the CASA volunteer is best interest advocacy. |
