How many children's lives does it take to make a difference?

Just one.

CASA of Marion County is a nonprofit child advocacy organization serving Marion County, West Virginia. We recruit, train, and support Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers who are appointed by a judge to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
