A CASA volunteer is someone with a heart for helping kids who we match with an abused or neglected child in the local family court system. Each CASA volunteer spends about 5 to 10 hours a month visiting their matched child, learning about the child’s past and present, and sharing what they learn so that the child gets services and doesn’t fall through the cracks
Regular people like you are getting real results for abused and neglected kids by serving as Court-Appointed Special Advocates.

CASA of Lexington’s works every year to help as many child victims of abuse and neglect as possible return to safe, permanent homes and regain their childhoods. The number of children we can serve each year is determined by the number of people who choose to be volunteers and the number of people who choose to fund the mission. We served more children in 2025 than in any other previous year!
260 people like you advocated for children in 2025. They gave thousands of hours and dozens of them earned the President’s Volunteer Service Award. These volunteers set a record for children served in 2025! You can meet some of the different people who serve as CASA volunteers.
681 people like you supported CASA of Lexington financially in 2025, making it possible for the volunteers to do their life-changing work. It costs around $1,000 to provide a child with a CASA volunteer for a year, or around $2,500 to provide a child with a CASA volunteer for the duration of an average case — less than what it costs the state to provide foster care for one month. You can make a donation of any amount right now.
Tiffany had a lot of trauma to work through. Therapy wasn’t working.
Fortunately, she had a CASA volunteer, Dave.
Dave took the time to get to know Tiffany. Dave realized she was not the type to sit and talk about her feelings.
Dave did some digging to find a solution. Dave recommended equine therapy sessions for Tiffany, and the judge thought it was good idea.
Tiffany recently began her new therapy sessions on a local farm. Her mental wounds are finally beginning to heal as she works with the horses!
CASA volunteers advocate for abused and neglected children, giving them a voice and a chance at a better life. The volunteers can’t do their jobs without paid staff called Volunteer Managers, who have extensive training on the family court system and guide the volunteers every step of the way. CASA of Lexington couldn’t hire Volunteer Managers to make the work possible without donations from people like you.
Learn how donations enabled a new CASA volunteer, Rosa, to transform the life of a young girl Lily, by exploring our CASA Giving Cycle story.
