SERVES: Children in Dallas who have been placed in foster care

Right now in Dallas, there are almost 2,000 children who have been removed from their homes and placed in foster care. Dallas CASA, which is based in East Dallas, is full of hundreds of volunteers who are working within the court system to make sure those children are placed in safe homes.

VOLUNTEER: CASA volunteers undergo 30 hours of initial training and 12 hours of continuing education each year. Each volunteer advocate works with a CASA staff supervisor who provides guidance throughout the court process.
