CASA of Douglas County relies on the generous support of the community to carry out its vital mission of advocating for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The organization operates as a private, non-profit agency, emphasizing the importance of community donations and volunteerism to make a meaningful impact on the lives of children in the welfare system.

Community donations are crucial in sustaining CASA of Douglas County's operations. These contributions go towards various aspects of the organization's work, including volunteer training, program development, and resources necessary for supporting children in the child welfare system. The financial support enables CASA to maintain a dedicated team of well-trained volunteers who serve as advocates for children facing challenging circumstances.

Volunteers are a key component of CASA of Douglas County's approach. These individuals are carefully trained and supported to ensure they are well-suited for the caseloads they take on. The organization recognizes the importance of volunteers having the energy and time required to monitor and advocate for each child's specific needs effectively. CASA volunteers function as the "eyes and ears" for judges in child welfare cases. This involves in-depth research into each child's situation, allowing volunteers to provide objective recommendations that contribute to the child's well-being.

With the support of our community, CASA of Douglas County can continue to be a powerful force in providing best interest advocacy for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. The organization's ability to operate as a non-profit depends heavily on the ongoing commitment of the community, making each donation a meaningful contribution to the well-being of vulnerable children in Douglas County.
