The Importance of Visitation

We are so thankful for the work that you do, especially as it relates to in-person visits with your CASA children. Our staff is inspired and motivated by the extraordinary efforts that many of our advocates make as it relates to accomplishing a meaningful visit with their CASA child each month. Life is so very often full and challenging. You can access a review of some reasons why visiting with your CASA child each month is important.

Remember to keep your CASA Volunteer file up-to-date with your current auto insurance card, driver's license, and contact information. And remember to visit your CASA child face-to-face at least once a month.
