Philanthropy "To a child, having a volunteer working for them can make all the difference. Volunteers are ordinary citizens, doing extraordinary work for children, and along the way, bringing such passion, dedication, and effort to their work" -www.casanet.org Kappa Alpha Theta's national philanthropy is CASA-Court Appointed Special Advocates. This program provides specially trained community volunteers, appointed by a Family Court Judge, to work on individual cases of children in foster care. These volunteers are dedicated to reducing the amount of time a child spends in foster care by facilitating the child's placement in a permanent home. As reports of abuse and neglect keep crowding court dockets, more children have become "lost" in the foster care system. CASA programs provide professional staff and trained volunteers to assist the Family Court judge to investigate, implement, and monitor permanency plans for foster children and their families involved in Family Court proceedings.
