CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. These advocates are specially trained volunteers represent the best interests of children in juvenile abuse and neglect court cases. CASA of the Tennessee Heartland is a local, nonprofit organization dedicated to the service of abused and neglected children in Anderson and Blount Counties.
CASA of the Tennessee Heartland is also looking for volunteers to serve in a non-advocate capacity. This opportunity is for those who are interested in volunteering with CASA but feel that advocacy is not their preferred form of service, or that they do not have time to be an advocate. While advocate volunteers and non-advocate volunteers take on different roles and responsibilities, they all work toward the same goal of serving Anderson and Blount County children.
Volunteers who are interested in helping with fundraising, appreciation events, office/administrative tasks, and community engagement are encouraged to apply.
Volunteers must be at least 21 years of age and submit to background checks to be considered.
