CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Tarrant County is an organization of volunteer Advocates who stand up on behalf of abused and neglected children because they want them to have a future brighter, more hopeful than their past.

Imagine that you lived your life with those you love and trusted the most hurting you: physically, sexually and emotionally. Every day you hear: “I wish you were dead!” “I hate you!” “You’ll never amount to anything.” “I wish you were never born.” Over time, these children believe that they truly don’t matter. Our organization believes differently. We believe that hope should not be another four-letter word. Our volunteer Advocates stand up on behalf of these children because they want them to have a brighter, more hopeful future. These volunteers come from all walks of life. They are ordinary people doing extraordinary things. They speak up for children that have been neglected, abused, ignored. They’re trained and they have a cause - with a first and last name.

About 400 abused and neglected children in Tarrant County are currently waiting on the critical voice of a volunteer Advocate.
