Court Appointed Special Advocates
The mission of CASA for Clermont Kids is to advocate for the best interests of abused, neglected and dependent children who have been introduced into Clermont County Juvenile Court. A non-profit agency based on the belief that children are entitled to a safe, loving and permanent home, CASA recruits and trains community involved citizens to volunteer as Guardians ad Litem who serve as the child’s advocate and court representative.

Find out how you can make a difference
The demand for advocates for children in Clermont County continues to grow. More and more children are being introduced to the court system each day. Many of these children are not given a CASA/GAL to represent their interests in court because there is often not a volunteer available. Let your friends, family, coworkers and even strangers know about CASA for Clermont Kids. Our next training classes start soon!
