SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

Advocacy Program CASA Nashville provides community volunteers to advocate in Davidson County Juvenile Court for children and youth who have been placed in foster care due to abuse and neglect. Our ultimate goal is to help them find a safe, permanent home where they will continue to thrive. Supporting Early Development CASA volunteers work to ensure young children are in placements with loving, consistent caregivers. For infants and young children, a strong, nurturing and consistent relationship to caregivers is key to healthy development. CASA Volunteers advocate for frequent visits with parents, siblings and other family members when appropriate. Enabling School-Aged Children to Succeed CASA volunteers advocate for appropriate educational placement and services. Children in foster care are more likely to struggle academically, or to be identified as having a disability. Helping Youth Prepare for Independence Advocates help youth set and achieve post-secondary and career training goals. Many must depend fully on themselves, but also often lack the preparation others their age have had for independent living.
