Pend Oreille Valley CASA Program
Mission Statement
The Pend Oreille Valley CASA Program is committed to providing every dependent child, within our jurisdictions, a voice through qualified Court Appointed Special Advocates/Guardian Ad Litems (CASA/GAL) through recruitment, screening, supervision and cross-cultural training. All of our CASA/GAL volunteers shall be well-trained and compassionate advocates for these children, who are our future.
Vision Statement
Every child deserves a safe and loving home. Our vision is to ensure that every child that comes before our courts, under either federal or state law, has a trained and dedicated Special Advocate to promote healthy outcomes for them by helping to secure a safe and permanent home in which they can thrive for a positive future.
CASA Volunteers
- Concerned community members with energy and compassion to address the needs of children and youth in the court system.
- Will receive training and support.
- Gather information and present a fact based report to the Judge, which reflects what is in the best interest of the child.
- Help the Judge make an informed decision about the child’s placement and future.
- Stay with a child’s case, supporting the child, until the case is closed.
With a CASA at their side, children know there is one special person who will be there for them that will help them find a safe, loving permanent home where their culture is honored.
