About Us

Our Mission

To be a child’s voice in court. We recruit, train and support lay volunteers who act as advocates on behalf of the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect.

Our Vision

Our vision is to ensure that every child involved with the Jackson County Family Court due to abuse and neglect will grow up in a safe and permanent home.

Statement of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

We advocate for children knowing every child deserves a safe and stable home. As a community of staff, volunteers, and supporters, Jackson County CASA believes that family preservation is in a child’s best interest when it is safe. We practice cultural humility by collaborating with our children and families as the experts in their own lives. We recognize institutional discrimination, bias, and oppression adversely and inequitably affect our children and families, our community, and our child welfare system.  We commit to challenging our own implicit biases and building a diverse and inclusive CASA community, as we continue to learn and grow alongside our children and families.
