About the Board
The Lucas County CASA Advisory Board, Inc. is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt corporation that is able to accept grants and donations and support the CASA volunteers in ways that government is unable to do.
Among other things, the Board provides recognition to the CASA volunteers, meals and other refreshments at CASA training workshops, and CASA Tool Kits filled with toys and activities to aid the CASA volunteers in establishing relationships and interviewing their CASA children.
The Board also reviews the strategic plans and policies of Lucas County CASA and makes recommendations and gives advice to the CASA Director. Unlike the typical Board of Trustees, the Lucas County CASA Advisory Board does not have the power to hire and fire the CASA staff. That responsibility rests with the Lucas County Juvenile Court.
CASA Tool Kits are filled with toys and activities like these to aid volunteers in establishing relationships with CASA children.
