How long does a CASA volunteer remain involved with a case?

The CASA volunteer remains committed to the case until it is permanently resolved, i.e., when the child is deemed to be safe and dependency is terminated.  This may take from 18 to 24 months. One of the primary benefits of the CASA Program is that, unlike others involved, who often rotate cases, the CASA volunteer is a consistent figure in the proceedings and provides continuity for the child.
