CASA of Lexington

Through the power of volunteer advocacy, CASA of Lexington works to ensure all victims of child abuse and neglect are given a chance to thrive in a safe, permanent home. CASA's trained and supervised volunteers provide an independent voice for children by speaking for their best interests in the family court system.

“Zack” at the age of ten was removed from his home where his heroin addicted father was unable to care for him.  His mother was unknown to him and not involved at all.  Zack was failing school and had been in three foster homes before CASA was appointed.  The CASA was able to help Zack be placed in an adoptive foster home, determined he had learning difficulties and retained an individualized education plan (IEP) and tutoring to catch up in school and exposed him to extracurricular and social activities.  Zack now maintains a B average, has joined the school football team, attended his first school dance and is in the process of being adopted.  Thanks to the CASA, Zack is in a loving permanent home and thriving.
