About First Judicial District CASA Association
CASA was started in 1977 in Seattle, Washington by Judge David Soukup. He had to make a decision to take a child out of her home and there was no one there who could only speak up for that child. He requested support from the community and received an overwhelming amount of support.
First Judicial District CASA began in 1994 in Leavenworth, Kansas providing services to Leavenworth and Atchison Counties. CASA is a 501c3, not for profit organization funded by grants, community donations, and fundraisers.
