CASA of the 8th Judicial District, Kansas CASA of the 8 Judicial District in Kansas mission is to advocate for the best interest of local kids

CASA of the 8th Judicial District's mission is to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the court system. We strive to help children have a safe, permanent, and nurturing environment. The presiding Judge in a court case will assign CASA to a child of need of care case, juvenile justice system case, or a domestic violence case. It is the CASA Volunteer's responsibility

to advocate for the best interests of the child. The CASA Volunteer investigates and becomes acquainted with the facts, conditions, and circumstances affecting the welfare of the child. They visit the child at least every 15 days to monitor the child's safety and observe whether the child's essential needs are being met. The CASA Volunteer attends court hearings, participates in case planning conferences, and submits written court reports to the parties involved in the case. To qualify to be a CASA Volunteer you must:
*Be least 21 years old
*Complete a written application providing information, which includes educational background, employment history, and personal experience with child abuse & neglect
*Provide three written references from person unrelated to the applicant
*Participate in a personal interview
*Pass a records check through state child abuse registries and the Kansas Bureau of Investigation and National Criminal Background Checks
*Complete no less than 30 hours of specialized training through the CASA program
*Complete 12 hours of in-service training annually

Our hearts are heavy today as we share the incredibly sad news that John Day, a truly dedicated Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA), has passed away. John began his training on May 17, 2021, and in his five years of service, he tirelessly championed the well-being of children in our community, mentoring four kids and offering them a voice and a source of hope. It's with immense grief that we acknowledge that his life was tragically cut short. His unwavering commitment to service will be deeply missed by all of us, and especially by the vulnerable children he advocated for. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones during this heartbreaking time.

The Voice for Children

A quiet voice, a gentle plea,
For children lost, for all to see.
A CASA stands, a beacon bright,
To guide them through the darkest night.

With a patient heart and listening ear,
They chase away the doubt and fear.
They learn each story, deep and true,
And fight for what each child is due.

No easy path, this sacred call,
To stand for justice, strong and tall.
A champion's spirit, brave and bold,
A future for young lives to mold.

For every child, a helping hand,
The finest advocates in the land.
Their selfless service, pure and vast,
A love that's built to truly last.

-Executive Director Crystal Quinn
