About Us
Every year, more than 650 abused and neglected children in Boone and Callaway counties pass through the Family Court System because they are unable to live safely at home. Imagine what it would be like to lose your parents, not because of something you did, but because they cannot or will not take care of you. Now, into these children’s lives come dozens of strangers: police, foster parents, therapists, social workers, judges, lawyers and more. Hopefully, one of these strangers is a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer.
CASA volunteers watch over and advocate for these abused and neglected children to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal system or languish in an inappropriate group or foster home. They stay with each case until it is closed, and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence—the one adult who cares only for their best interest.
The mission of Heart of Missouri CASA is to recruit and train volunteers to be exceptional voices for every abused and neglected child in the Boone and Callaway County Family Courts.
