Knox County’s CASA program will be hosting an open house on Monday from 4-to-5:30 pm at their offices located at 105 Broadway Street in Vincennes.

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates which represent the rights of children who have been abuse or neglected. CASA Director Dena Held says the open house will allow the community to learn more about the program and to gauge interest in becoming a CASA voluneteer.

Held says they currently have 78 volunteers, but more are needed. She says they currently have a waiting list of children in the welfare system in need of an advocate to represent them.

You can also learn more about CASA by calling Children Family Services at 812-886-4470 or online at Child Advocates-dot-org.
