Boston CASA promotes and protects the best interests of children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. They train and support community-based volunteers who provide a voice to children in the court system so they may thrive in a stable environment. 

Boston CASA volunteers:

• Advocate for the child’s best interest in court

• Collaborate with everyone in the child’s life to help ensure their physical, emotional, mental health, and educational needs are met

• Provide a consistent and stable adult presence in the child’s life

• Work on a single case–one child or sibling group–at a time

Volunteers typically work 10-15 hours a month and go through a 30 hour training program before they start. Training is offered twice a year, typically in March/April and September/October.
