ABOUT PROKIDS
ProKids is a nonprofit agency that provides outstanding volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children in Hamilton County, who through no fault of their own, are in the child protection system. We recruit, train, and support CASA Volunteers to provide a powerful voice to these children.
Children assigned to a CASA Volunteer are successful. A national study shows that children with CASA volunteers spend less time in long-term foster care and move less often. At ProKids, our Outcome Measures demonstrate the effectiveness of CASA Volunteers.
