Delaware County CASA Program

It is not just the physical safety of families that are affected by Domestic Violence. Children who feel unsafe in their home are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety, struggle with behaviors and learning in school, and, fall victim to Domestic Violence as adults.

CASA's can ensure that the needs of these children are being met.

Often children are only removed from these situations if parents are arrested, and even if the offending parent is taken to jail, it takes several instances of DV for the victims to seek help, or to leave. This leaves children to witness repeated acts of violence in the place they should feel safest of all.

Happy Birthday to Volunteer Nancy Arkins. Nancy is a retired nurse who currently has 4 cases. She advocates for children who are medically fragile and travels extensively to see her kiddo's. Thank you Nancy and Happy Birthday.

Last week, we attended the 2026 Annual State CASA Conference in Fort Wayne. So thankful for such an amazing State Office who work so hard to bring this event every year. We had some truly inspirational speakers and made some great connections.

Happiest of Birthdays to Volunteer Sally Brocksen. We appreciate you!

Happy Birthday to Tabitha Nehling. Thank you for all you do for our CASA kids!

Training for Volunteers begins this Thursday, at 5:30. We would love to have you and still have room in the class for a few more trainees.

There are approximately 137 churches in Delaware County. If every church had one person willing to be a CASA Volunteer, we would be able to eliminate our waitlist. Children in our community are in need of advocacy and support. Click the link below to see if Volunteering is right for you.
