YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - "CASA," or Court Appointed Special Advocates, swore in their new certified members Friday morning.

Three new members were sworn in at the Yuma County Juvenile Court House. All three have finished 30 hours of pre certification training with the state of CASA program.

One advocate shares how meaningful is to her.

"God gave me a huge heart to serve, and I prayed on it," said newly appointed CASA Nora Morris. "I did it, and I'm excited, and I really hope that, you know, I can make a difference in somebody's life. I'm excited and hope to do a really good job!"

CASA advocates for abused and neglected children in the foster care system. There are now a total of 42 Yuma County CASA advocates help serve 80 children.
