CASA of the Pines, Inc

Court Appointed Special Advocates - A voice for abused and neglected children in Angelina, Houston & Polk Counties. CASA of the Pines exists to train community volunteers to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children. Advocating for children who have experienced abuse or neglect into safe, permanent homes.

Every year thousands of abused and neglected children in Texas are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. They are more likely than other children to face homelessness, unemployment, even prison as adults.
That's where CASA of the Pines steps in.
When a child enters the foster care system because his or her home is no longer safe, a judge appoints a committed volunteer from CASA of the Pines to help them. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1995 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children suffered at home did not continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system.
