Six new Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers were sworn in by 33rd & 424th Judicial District Associate Judge, Robert Hofmann, to begin their work in the aid of children in the five county regions of Blanco, Burnet, Lampasas, Llano and San Saba.

Volunteers are appointed by the Court as Guardian ad Litems to advocate for children in the court system that have been removed from their home due to abuse and/or neglect.

The need for CASA volunteers to represent these children (becoming the “eyes and ears” for the Judge) in court, grows daily.

More than 100 children still need volunteers to speak on their behalf (Case Supervisors work the case until, and if, a volunteer becomes available).

To find out more information about becoming a CASA volunteer, please contact Diane Wells at 325 423-0917.
