What is CASA?
In 1989, Kappa Alpha Theta selected the Court Appointed Special Advocate Association (CASA) as the Fraternity's national philanthropy. This program provides trained community volunteers appointed by a judge to speak up for abused and neglected children in court. With the information provided by CASA volunteers, judges are able to make informed decisions as to what is best for the child - foster care, reunification, or adoption, and in a more timely fashion, so these children still have a chance at childhood.

The Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation gives an annual grant to the National Association to support their toll free phone number, provide educational materials and displays for volunteers, and fund the Kappa Alpha Theta Program Director of the Year award.
