Interested in becoming an Advocate with CASA of Lexington? Register now!

We need you to show up for a central Kentucky kid who has suffered abuse or neglect! As a CASA volunteer, you visit your matched child monthly, learn about their life, share what you learn with those making decisions about the child's life, and recommend actions you think could help make their life better.

All it takes to make the world better for one child is a heart for the work and 5 to 10 hours a month free to volunteer. Our summer training class starts later this month - apply on our website today!
