Our vision is to create a world where every child who has experienced abuse or neglect is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home.

CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. It is a volunteer program where each volunteer is assigned a juvenile abuse and neglect case and appointed by a judge to advocate for the children’s best interest in said case/s. A CASA volunteer's advocacy enables judges to make the most well-informed decision for each child. A CASA volunteer's role is to gather, analyze, and assess facts about their assigned case/s and make functional recommendations to the judges on how to move forward.

Yesterday, Voices For Children-CASA Program Director Margaret Hoschar and Program Coordinator Johnathon Byrd traded their courtroom attire for costumes at a local Trunk-or-Treat! 🎃 Events like this remind us why we do what we do, making sure every child in our community is safe and supported. It was great to see all the families out making memories with their kids. We hope everyone had as much fun as we did!

Last week, Voices For Children-CASA was very fortunate to receive a grant from the West Virginia Central Federal Credit Union’s Day of Giving! Our Program Coordinator Johnathon Byrd was there to accept and we could not be more thankful for their generous contribution to our cause.

This grant will be used to aid and assist us with volunteer recruitment and training.

Voices For Children-CASA attended the 2026 Changing the Tide - The Carolinas Seaside Symposium on Child Abuse held in Myrtle Beach, SC earlier this year. It was a very informative and empowering week of seminars and lectures and we wanted to share some of the important information we received during our time there.

A BIG thank you to the City of Parkersburg - Government for presenting CASA with this check outside the Municipal Building today! This will significantly help us in our mission to create a world where every child that has experienced abuse or neglect is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home. A special thank you to Mayor Tom Joyce, Council President Andrew Borkowski, and Councilor Mike Reynolds for attending the check presentation ceremony today.

Today, the City of Parkersburg was proud to present a $10,000 check to Voices For Children-CASA in support of their vital work advocating for children in our community.

Mayor Tom Joyce, Council President Andrew Borkowski, and Councilor Mike Reynolds joined Margaret Hoschar, Program Director, along with dedicated staff and volunteers, for a check presentation ceremony outside the Municipal Building.

This funding, made possible through opioid settlement resources, will help CASA continue recruiting, training, and supporting volunteer advocates who serve children facing abuse and neglect within the court system. These advocates play a critical role in ensuring each child’s voice is heard during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.

The City remains committed to investing in programs that strengthen families, support vulnerable youth, and address the long-term impacts of substance use disorder in our community.

We thank Voices for Children (CASA) for their unwavering dedication and the meaningful difference they make every day.
