Who We Are

PARACHUTE is a non-profit agency dedicated to providing trained community volunteers to children who are in the Juvenile Court system due to abuse, neglect or abandonment; these volunteers are willing to take a stand for the county's most vulnerable children. The CASA concept is based on the belief that every child has the right to a safe, permanent home, as soon as possible.

Since 1988, CASA volunteers have helped over 2,800 Butler County children find safe, permanent homes by recruiting, training and supervising over 608 concerned community members to serve Butler County Juvenile Court as Court Appointed Special Advocate Volunteers. CASA volunteers have attended 7,948 court hearings to speak up for the best interest of local abused and neglected children.
