Mission
CASA of Lea County strives to make Lea County, New Mexico a safer environment for our communities' abused and neglected children through highly trained volunteer advocacy and other child centered programs.
Program accomplishments
- The Court Appointed Special Advocate program CASA recruits and trains community volunteers to provide unbiased advocacy for foster children from birth to 18 years of age. Each of the children served are victims of abuse and/or neglect to the degree that the State of New Mexico is compelled to protect them by placing them in foster care. Since 2005 CASA volunteers and staff have stood up and provided a powerful voice for children in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. Children are assigned to trained volunteer advocates. For any child in the legal system waiting for their own CASA volunteer, CASA program staff provides courtroom advocacy in their best interest. The Children's Court Judge listens to and carefully considers CASA-driven recommendations and observations at each hearing called for children in the foster care system in Lea County.Expenses $253,700
- Family Time Visitation Program FTVP is a community provider of supervised visitation and safe custody exchange services to any family who is referred via the State of New Mexico's Children, Youth, and Families Department CYFD, court order, or self-referral. Via a contract with the New Mexico Administrative Offices of the Courts, FTVP provides services to families affected by domestic violence and high-conflict domestic matters on a sliding fee scale. CYFD-referred children are victims of abuse and/or neglect. FTVP provides safe contact between offending parents, who are working on their treatment plan, and their children.Expenses $189,963 · revenue $53,658
