CASA of Lexington enables volunteers like you to change the lives of abused and neglected children.

Abused and neglected children have often suffered more traumatic events in their first few years of life than others experience in a lifetime. Unfortunately, our system does not always prioritize the needs of these vulnerable children, causing additional trauma.

CASA of Lexington volunteers advocate for these abused and neglected children in seven central Kentucky counties: Bourbon, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Lincoln, Scott and Woodford. We are the largest CASA organization in Kentucky and one of the largest in the nation. If you have a heart for helping children, you can make a difference with CASA of Lexington.
