Anne Arundel County CASA, Inc.

About

We advocate for and support abused and neglected children who are involved in juvenile court proceedings to ensure their right to safe, stable, permanent homes. AACCASA achieves this mission through the work of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).

In 1993, a handful of local attorneys recognized the need for a CASA program in Anne Arundel County. With the support from the local Bar Association, the Circuit Court, and the Department of Social Services, Anne Arundel County CASA, Inc. (AACASA) was incorporated. AACASA began serving children in July 1997. With a small staff of six professionals, we rely on volunteers to achieve our mission.

Since our inception, over 500 exceptional CASA volunteers have worked diligently to improve the lives of the children in need in our community. Our dedicated volunteers contribute over 9,000 hours of their time annually to help these children who are unable to help themselves. AACASA is a privately held 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We are funded through grants, donations, and fundraising and are part of a network of 16 CASA programs serving 21 Maryland counties.

CASA volunteers are an active part of the child's team that is working toward ensuring that the child has a safe, stable and permanent home.CASAs are specially trained volunteers who are appointed as "Officers of the Court" to an abused or neglected child. Their role is to make recommendations to the Court about what is in the child's best interest. The volunteer will draw together this information by getting to know the child and gathering information from other persons who are involved in this child's life.
