CASA of the High Plains

The goal of the program is to assist the Courts in the placement of children currently in the child welfare system due to alleged or confirmed abuse or neglect in an effort to have informed and expedient decisions made about their futures. Court Appointed Special Advocates, aka CASAs, serve as the voice for these vulnerable children in court. CASA of the High Plains serves the 23rd Judicial District, which covers Ellis, Rooks, Trego and Gove counties. About 100 children are removed from their homes annually in the 23rd Judicial District. CASA is a nonprofit agency. It currently has positions open for new board members, non-court volunteers, and those who wish to serve children as CASAs.
