Please join us at an upcoming Volunteer Info Session
CASA of South Mississippi speaks up for children who’ve been abused or neglected by empowering our community to volunteer as advocates for them in the court system. The Youth Court Judge appoints a trained CASA volunteer to make independent and informed recommendations in the child’s best interest. CASA volunteers come from every walk of life and share a commitment to improving children’s lives.
Volunteer Info Sessions are a great opportunity to meet with a staff member, learn more about what it means to become a CASA volunteer, and ask questions about volunteering.

Touch a Truck 2024 – Sat, April 13 at 10am-2pm
CASA of South Mississippi’s Touch A Truck is a FREE event that gives local children and adults alike a chance to fulfill childhood curiosities while learning and interacting with the businesses of the community. Touch A Truck is different than a car show. Kids can interact with not only the trucks, but with the “heroes” that drive and operate them. They can hear the sirens, watch the tractor bucket move, and learn about the safety of the vehicles through fun and interactive games. We hope to see you there!
Our Mission
Recruit, train, and support a diverse network of Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers to provide abused and neglected children in our community with quality advocacy in the Hancock County court system and to secure them a safe, permanent, and nurturing home.

Opportunities and services are open to all and not restricted based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, gender identity and gender expression, marital status, veteran status, physical abilities or national origin.
