Who We Are
When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge may appoint a volunteer to advocate for the best interest of the child. This trained community member is called a Court Appointed Special Advocate.
What We Do
NHCASA promotes and protects the best interests of victims of child maltreatment involved in court proceedings through the advocacy efforts of trained volunteers. In 2025, we served 80 children within the 4th Judicial Circuit which includes the counties of Butte, Lawrence, Meade, Corson, Dewey, Harding, Perkins, and Ziebach.
How To Help
A donation to NHCASA is an investment in children and our community. Your gift can help the CASA program ensure every abused/neglected child has a powerful voice and a trusted adult to walk alongside them through tumultuous times.
