Fifth Judicial District CASA Program is a national organization of volunteers appointed by judges to advocate for the safety and well-being of abused and neglected children in Twin Falls, ID. With no special background or education required, volunteers receive comprehensive training to gather information, review documents, interview children and family members, and provide written reports to the court. They also appear in court, advocate for the child's best interest, explain court proceedings to the child, seek cooperative solutions, recommend services, monitor case plans, and keep the court informed.
Fifth Judicial District CASA Program is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children by providing them with a voice in court and other settings. Volunteers commit to a case until it is closed, typically lasting about a year and a half, and spend approximately 10 hours a month on average. Supported by an Advocate Coordinator, volunteers gather information, document findings, appear in court, advocate for the child's best interest, and ensure the children and their parents receive appropriate services. They also monitor case plans, update the court on developments, and file motions on behalf of the child.
