关于我们
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Oklahoma County provides trained volunteers to be a champion for the individualized best interests of children in foster care. CASA provides a trained caring adult to advocate for the best interest of children who have been removed from their home due to abuse or neglect. CASA volunteers get to know the children and communicate with all parties in the case and people in the child’s life in order to provide complete information and sound recommendations to the court. As “the eyes and ears” of the judge, the CASA volunteer offers a neutral, third-party opinion to the court, one that is unbiased and child-focused. Annually, there are over 9,000 Oklahoma children in foster care. Our program serves the most difficult of the abuse and neglect cases in Oklahoma County. Although these cases are under the jurisdiction of our county, the children may be placed in foster homes all across the state. CASA of Oklahoma County, Inc. is a Member of the National CASA Association and the Oklahoma State CASA Association, as well as a United Way of Central Oklahoma Partner Agency.

In honor of Social Work Month, we’re excited to introduce Tyanne, a social work major at the University of Oklahoma who was inspired to intern at CASA after witnessing a dedicated CASA volunteer in action. During her time here, Tyanne has sharpened her social work skills and gained a deeper appreciation for the complexities of human behavior, social systems, and intervention strategies. She's excited to see how her internship with CASA will shape her future as a social worker! When she's not making a difference, Tyanne loves spending time with family and meeting new people. Her next goal? Earning her master’s in social work! ?? #SocialWorkMonth #CASA #FutureSocialWorker #BeAVoice
