Helping Kids In Hawaii
BY GIVING THEM A VOICE
“I want to tell you how appreciative I am of the love, the kindness, and the compassion you give to our children. I celebrate your commitment and dedication…Your role in our courtroom as the voice of our children, is vital to the judge’s decision making. AS CASA’s you fulfill a need for our children to have a voice; to be empowered to ask questions, to state their needs and to report wrongdoings.” ~ Judge Browning

HELP BRING HOPE TO CHILDREN IN HAWAI‘I
Every child deserves to feel safe, loved, and have a place to call home. Sadly, many children in Hawai‘i encounter abuse and/or neglect and need someone to stand up for them. As a CASA, you can be that voice, a guiding light for a child in need. Your advocacy can help ensure that every child is seen, heard, and given the chance to thrive.
THE NEED FOR VOLUNTEERS
In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by Family Court judges, CASA volunteers typically handle one case at a time—and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that a child needs in order to thrive.
