Franklin County CASA

Court Appointed Special Advocates

Serving Franklin and Gasconade Counties of Missouri

There is a child in the foster care system waiting for a volunteer like you. With a CASA Volunteer, children are more likely to adjust to change, do well in school, and find safe, permanent homes. Get involved and Change a Child’s Story.™

Change a Child’s Story™

Get involved where it matters

A CASA Volunteer provides a judge with carefully researched background information of the child to help the court make a sound decision about that child’s future.

Our mission

Hope is everything

Franklin County CASA, Inc. advocates for the best interest of children of abuse and neglect who are under the protection of the Franklin County and Gasconade County Juvenile Courts. 

Through highly trained community Volunteer Advocates, 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.

Fall 2022 Graduation

In October, we welcomed our newest set of CASA volunteers. This group was eager to jump into their first cases! We are confident that they will be able to provide the consistency, compassion and dedication that is needed by our youth living in foster care.  

Congratulations to Congratulations to Jamie Cobb, Sam Cobb, Amber Freeman, Christine Consolino, Chelsea Denton, Tonya Hall, Karissa Ruediger, Jill Shelton, Tracy Smith, Mark Spann, and Katie Illiff on becoming members of the CASA family. We look forward to all the wonderful work you will do with your families!

We also want to extend a very special thank you to Pepsi-Cola Bottling Co. in New Haven, Sperry Plumbing, Sophie Lawrence, Caitlin with Essential Concepts, and the others who generously donated their time to provide food and drinks for our trainees.
