OUR MISSION:

Franklin County CASA, Inc. advocates for the best interest of children of abuse and neglect who are under the protection of the Franklin County Juvenile Court.
Through highly trained community Volunteers the child’s needs are heard, researched and advocated for throughout the duration of the child’s time before the court, thus securing a safe and permanent home for all such children.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

I am for the child

In August 2011 four different CASA volunteers closed their cases because 7 children found a safe and permanent home!!!           From July 2010 to June 2011, every child in foster care in Franklin County that found permanency had CASA involvement.

Thank you...

 To the Franklin County Community Resource Board who provided the opportunity for Tammi Stoos to present to members of the community.  Tammi talked to teenagers and adults about her experience in foster care and now as a social worker and foster parent.  Tammi was an inspiration to us all giving us strength to be not only survivors, but thrivers in life.  Also, thank you to Union High School and Super 8 in Union for supporting this event, and volunteers Mary Tinsley and Diana Hall for organizing.  It was another CASA success.

A special thank you to all who participated in helping to make our

Meet Our CASA Children

 

Franklin County CASA volunteers are currently appointed to 63 of the 200 children in foster care in the county.  These such children range from 19 months to 20 years; each having their own stories of suffering from abuse and/or neglect and each having their own stories of courage and healing.  CASA volunteers are privileged to walk with these children through one segment of their life journey
