Volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Children in Pima County

Looking for a meaningful way to make a difference in a child's life? Become a Court Appointed Special Advocate.

Volunteers with CASA of Pima County are everyday citizens that judges appoint to advocate for the safety and well-being of children who are victims of parental abuse and neglect.

All volunteers must complete a 30-hour pre-service training. The time commitment to a case varies depending upon the stage of the case, but you can expect to spend approximately 15-20 hours a month on a case.
