340<p>Court Appointed Special Advocates began when Seattle Judge David Soukup was concerned over making decisions about abused and neglected children&#39;s lives without sufficient information. In 1977, Judge Soukup conceived the idea of using trained community volunteers to speak for the best interests of these children in court. So successful was this Seattle program that soon judges across the country began utilizing citizen advocates. In 1990, the U.S. Congress encouraged the exp
340ansion of CASA with passage of the Victims of Child Abuse Act. </p>
341
342<p>Today the National CASA/GAL Association for Children represents over 900 CASA programs in 49 states and Washington, DC. National CASA provides support for starting programs, technical assistance, training, fundraising, media, and public awareness services.<br />
343<br />
344CASA of Northeast Tennessee had its beginnings as an East Tennessee State University initiative when in 1985, at the initiative of the Sociology Department, funds were obtained through a one-time grant from the US Department of Health and Human Services to establish the organization. In 2004, CASA of Northeast TN moved out from under the umbrella of ETSU and became established as a 501(c) 3 entity. CASA of Northeast TN now serves over 250 children a year in 4 juveniles courts: Washington County, Juvenile Court of Johnson City, Greene County and Unicoi County. CASA of Northeast TN has made hard won gains, increasing full-time staffing to 5 (executive director, 3 program coordinators, and volunteer coordinator), and over 35 volunteer advocates.</p>
