About this year's beneficiary:
The Sioux Falls Area Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program seeks to promote and protect the best interests of abused
and neglected children involved in court proceedings through the advocacy efforts of trained volunteers.
We do this because...being a kid shouldn't hurt!
We are a private, non-profit organization serving children involved in abuse and neglect proceedings in the 2nd Circuit Court in South Dakota.
The Sioux Falls Area CASA Program is a private, non-profit organization that was founded in 1994, when Circuit Judge Gene Paul Kean asked the local Junior League organization to begin a program.
The first volunteer advocates were trained and sworn in by the court in the Spring of 1995. Since then, thousands of local abused and neglected children have received the services of these special advocates.
During the last year, over 400 children were assigned to the CASA program as a result of being involved in the court system due to being abused or neglected in Minnehaha and Lincoln counties of South Dakota. Sadly, this number continues to increase. Our CASA program is serving approximately 80-85% of the children involved in proceedings in our circuit. Our goal is to serve the remaining children so we are continually serving 100%.
The Sioux Falls CASA Program currently has active volunteers and staff persons dedicated to making a powerful impact in the lives of abused and neglected children.
