What is CASA?

Court Appointed Special Advocates® (CASAs) are community volunteers, just like you, who speak up for abused and/or neglected children.

Our CASA program belongs to a network of nearly 950 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and/or neglected children in courtrooms and communities.

News & Notes

Northern Nevada Legal Aid Luncheon

Several members of the Washoe CASA Program and Foundation Board were in attendance for the annual Northern Nevada Legal Aid fundraiser: Voices for Justice Luncheon.  The Topaz Room at the Renaissance Reno Hotel was the setting on Friday April 21, 2023 for lunch and auction activities.  It was an afternoon for reflecting on the excellent work that NNLA does for populations that do not have adequate access to legal services.  The attorneys who work for NNLA have put in countless hours helping thousands of people, most especially, children in foster care.   We were proud to be on hand to show our support for an organization who supports the very children we work for.
