Summit County CASA Program

8,574 children receive services, which is 1 out of 13 children in Summit County. CASA/GAL volunteers ensure a child’s voice, needs, and wishes are heard by the Court and that the child’s right to a safe, permanent home is acted on sensitively and expediently.

Give a voice to children experiencing abuse and neglect. 💙

We need 26 new volunteers in 2026. Visit https://bit.ly/3Sh8wwd to learn more about how you can become a CASA/GAL volunteer.

"I always knew about the role of a Guardian ad Litem. My career was working in education as a school counselor and as a PBIS consultant to assist schools in implementing mental health supports for students. After retirement, I knew I wanted to find a meaningful way to spend my time and continue to work with children."
