CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates and is a volunteer-based national organization that matched adult volunteers with children in foster care going through the family court system in the aftermath of family crisis. Our CASA volunteers are charged with overseeing the court proceedings and speaking only in the best interest of the child who cannot speak for themselves.
A child with a CASA is:
-More likely to succeed in school
-More likely to find a permanent home
-Half as likely to re-enter the foster care system
For over 20 years, Southeast Nebraska CASA has been training and supporting a volunteer-based effort to be the voice for children who haven't any. Children who, due to abuse and neglect, are in desperate need of someone to fight on their behalf and mend the brokenness they so unjustly have suffered.
The arrival of Covid-19 to our communities this past spring has limited our ability to nurture and maintain relationships as well as sustain and improve donor support. After months of separation and working from home, we've transitioned into this new non-profit landscape and are turning toward the future stronger than ever looking for ways to increase the impact we have on changing lives and rewriting stories for the better one child at a time.
We're raising funds specifically for new and existing volunteers in order to ensure program support, provide continuing education and to recruit and train new volunteer advocates so that "every kid has a CASA."
Our campaign goal is $10,190
Our first tier stretch goal is $18,000
Our second tier stretch goal is $25,000
We presently have 29 active volunteers and 35 children in need of a CASA. This campaign in geared toward recruiting and supporting "A CASA for Every Kid."
