MILAM COUNTY, Texas — Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Milam County has officially been established, making it the 74th CASA program in Texas.
The mission of CASA is to increase public awareness and decrease the occurrence of child abuse, all while recruiting members of the community to advocate for these children in Child Protective Services care.
CASA of Milam County says the board has worked very hard to reach this point, but now they're looking to add more board members and volunteer advocates.
According to CASA of Milam County, these volunteers are screened, trained and then appointed by judges to represent and advocate for a child in the CPS system.
