WHAT WE DO

Court Appointed Special Advocate® (CASA) volunteers are community members, just like you, who stand up and speak out to help abused and neglected children.

CASA Gateway is one of 18 CASA programs in Kentucky. The CASA programs in Kentucky are part of a larger national network.

The National CASA/GAL Association for Children is a national organization advocating for abused and neglected children in the court system and in foster care. There are more than 900 local CASA programs across the country receiving technical assistance and training from National CASA/GAL.

OUR ROLE

CASA is here for the child in need

When a foster care case begins, the courtroom is full—judges, social workers, attorneys, biological parents, and family members all advocating from different perspectives. Yet the child, whose life is most affected, can easily become lost in the process as decision-makers juggle heavy caseloads and limited time.

CASA ensures the child’s voice is heard, advocating for their needs and wishes so they are not overlooked amid the competing interests surrounding the case.

Help Us Help More Children

Your financial contribution helps us recruit, train, and supervise CASA volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. We greatly appreciate your support.

Every child deserves to feel Seen, Heard, and Protected

Every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and protected—especially in moments when their world feels uncertain. In the Gateway Region, CASA volunteers stand beside children navigating the foster care system, making sure their voices are not lost in a complex legal process.

Together with our community, we help ensure that decisions are made with a child’s safety, stability, and future at the center. Because when one caring adult shows up consistently, it can change the course of a child’s life.
