The CASA Project Worcester County
Helping Worcester County Children Find Safe, Permanent Homes since 1981
The CASA Project of Worcester County, a United Way agency, recruits, trains, and supervises CASA volunteers to serve in the Worcester County Juvenile Court on behalf of child victims of abuse and neglect. Every year over 430 new cases of child abuse and neglect involving more than 750 children are filed in the Worcester County Juvenile Court.
In 2009, CASA volunteers helped over 335 children find safe, permanent homes, by providing the juvenile court judges with current and in-depth information and by advocating for the child's best interest. As the number of Care and Protection cases has increased, so has the need for volunteers. Your help is desperately needed!
Interested in learning more? Check out Prospective Volunteers or please Contact Us. If you cannot volunteer your time, but would still like to help, CASA will gratefully accept any donation by check or securely online through PayPal.
Thanks to the Annie E. Casey Foundation for providing valuable information on our nations' children. "More than 1 million young children under age 10 were missed in the 2000 Census and over three-quarters of a million children under age five were missed."
