ProKids trains volunteers to become Court Appointed Special Advocates ( CASAs ). Each CASA volunteer is assigned to a foster child, making sure the child's needs are met, that the child is safe, and helping each child move into a safe, permanent, and nurturing home. ProKids was founded in 1981 by Hamilton County Juvenile Court, the Cincinnati Bar Association, and the Junior League of Cincinnati. ProKids is Hamilton County's CASA volunteer program, one of more than 900 CASA volunteer programs nationwide, and part of the National CASA Association. ProKids is a nonprofit agency that provides outstanding volunteer advocacy for children in Hamilton County who have been abused and neglected and, through no fault of their own, are in the court system. ProKids recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers known as CASA ( Court Appointed Special Advocates ) volunteers to provide a powerful voice for these children. ProKids provides leadership and education to the community by creating specialized programs such as Building Blocks for children age birth to 3 years old, Steps to Peace to address family violence, and the CASA University training program.
