About Us
CASA of Southern Ohio is a multi-county, court-based agency with a non-profit arm that provides the services of Court Appointed Special Advocates to local children who have experienced abuse or neglect in Adams, Scioto, and soon to be Lawerence County. Since its inception in 2017, Scioto County CASA has been growing more and more in an effort to serve all the children that enter foster care. Currently, there are over 20 CASA volunteers serving children in Scioto County through CASA volunteers and child-focused advocacy. In 2022, Friends of CASA non-profit was formed to assist the program's mission and also in 2022 Adam's County joined the program. CASA of Southern Ohio will be adding service to Lawerence County in 2025.
