The first step to volunteering with CASA is to attend an Informational Session, which provides an opportunity to meet with a staff member, learn more about what it means to become a CASA, and ask questions about volunteering. Info Sessions usually take 45 minutes to an hour. You can schedule an Info Session below in Hancock, Harrison, & Stone Counties.

2025 Touch-A-Truck Sponsors
Thank You to Our 2025 Touch-A-Truck Sponsors! We are gearing up for an incredible 2025 Touch-A-Truck event, and it wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of our sponsors! Their commitment to our mission ensures that we can continue advocating for children...
Save the Date: Touch A Truck 2025: Saturday, April 5
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 South Mississippi court system and to secure them a safe, permanent, and nurturing home.
All are Welcome
CASA of South Mississippi pledges to recruit board members, staff and volunteers that are diverse and reflect the population and needs of the children we serve. 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.
