Program – Child Abuse prevention – Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Erin Rowland-Jones. CASA of Kosciusko County is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization which advocates for the best interest of abused and neglected children who are entangled in the Kosciusko County court system by recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA).

CASA is central to fulfilling society’s most fundamental obligation by making sure a qualified compassionate adult will advocate for and protect a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to thrive and succeed in the security of a loving family. We believe that all children deserve the right to grow up in a safe, permanent home.
