Although the number may vary, the average is between one and three cases. Keeping a low caseload is important because it allows the CASA/GAL volunteer to have a thorough knowledge of the case and time necessary to provide quality advocacy. In overburdened child welfare and court systems, this one-on-one attention helps keep vulnerable children from slipping through the cracks.
