The end goal of a child advocate 's work is to provide a court with objective information and recommendations about the best interests of the child. Should they reunite with their parents? Live with relatives? Get a permanent guardian? Go up for adoption? The CASA worker job description involves everything that leads up to those recommendations: The child advocate visits the child and gets to know them. The advocate finds out how the child is doing in school and in their current foster home, and whether they need any added service. The volunteer talks to adults involved in the case, possibly including foster parents, teachers, therapists or police.
