PARTNER AGENCY SPOTLIGHT

CASA for Kids is one of 19 CASA programs in Oklahoma. It recruits, trains and supervises Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers to advocate for children involved in the child welfare system and improves their well-being.

The National CASA Association stated children with a CASA volunteer receive more services, are more likely to be adopted and perform better in school than those without one. Our local CASA serves Payne, Logan and Kay Counties. In 2023, it helped reunify 11 children with their biological parents and aided in seven adoptions.

CASA executive director looks on as two new volunteers are made official.

Committed party-goers attend

the May 2024 CASA Disco Gala Fundraiser.

CASA helps ensure children have a voice in the courts and access to the services they need.
