CASA of Westmoreland, Inc. (Court Appointed Special
Advocates) is a non-profit agency that provides volunteers to
act as independent advocates for children who are in the court
system due to abuse and neglect. These volunteers collaborate
with a variety of individuals involved with the child including
the case worker through Westmoreland County Children’s Bureau
and a variety of service providers.
In 2007 CASA of Westmoreland, Inc. served 12 children and had 15
active volunteers. By 2008 the number of children who were
provided advocacy by CASA quadrupled to 49 children. The number
of children served in 2009 continued to increase, and CASA
served 97 children with 39 active Volunteers. In 2010 CASA served 110 children and had 44 active volunteers.
CASA of Westmoreland, Inc. currently serves 113 children of the
over 300 children in the court system who have been removed from
their home due to abuse or neglect. The goal for our CASA
program is to be able to one day provide service to every child
in Westmoreland County who is in need of advocacy.
