https://t.co/9K1LnQHWA5 CASA of Merced County's mission is to advocate for the best interests of abused & neglected children. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Merced County advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children and non-minor dependents within the Court system. Based on the belief that every child/non-minor dependent is entitled to a safe and supportive home, CASA works through trained volunteers in collaboration with key agencies, legal counsel, and community resources to serve as the child's Advocate in the Merced County Juvenile Court System.
