CASA Corridor of East Tennessee

Mission: To recruit and train citizen volunteers to ‘speak out’ for the best interest of abused and/or neglected children who are before the juvenile courts through no fault of their own.

CASA Corridor of East Tennessee is a nonprofit organization which began advocating for abused and/or neglected children in McMinn, Meigs, and Rhea Counties in 2007.

CASA Corridor of East Tennessee recruits and trains diverse volunteers to act as advocates for the best interests of children involved in court proceedings primarily as the result of child abuse and/or neglect in McMinn, Meigs, and Rhea Counties.

CASA is partially funded by a grant from the state of Tennessee.

CASA recruits, trains and supports community volunteers who advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children in our community. CASA volunteers do their own investigation, get to know each child and write reports directly to the judge with recommendations for what’s in the child’s best interests.

CASA volunteers get cases moving through the child welfare system and advocate strongly to help ensure each child is in a secure, safe home. Our program succeeds with help from dedicated staff, caring volunteers and generous donors like you.
