CASA

Omega Delta Phi fraternity has chosen Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) as its’ national partnership.

CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to watch over and advocate for abused and neglected children, to make sure they don’t get lost in the overburdened legal and social service system or languish in inappropriate group or foster homes. Volunteers stay with each case until it is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives.

Omega Delta Phi strives to initiate and actively participate in long term partnerships that help strengthen each of the fraternity’s 45+ chapters’ connections with its local community. “ODPhi” Brothers will have the opportunity to support their local CASA program through various service and fundraising efforts.

The primary goal of CASA’s partnership with Omega Delta Phi is to assist in recruiting needed volunteers and securing additional financial support for local CASA programs. Omega Delta Phi’s national President Jorge Garcia says that, since the organization was founded in 1987, it has been prided itself on giving back to the community. “We are confident that we will make a real contribution to CASA’s work for abused and neglected children.”
