Become an Advocate

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained community volunteer appointed by a judge to speak up for the best interest of children in foster care. CASA volunteers are EVERYDAY HEROS who come from all walks of life and serve as the eyes and ears of the court.
CASA Volunteers play a vital role in changing the lives and trajectories of Foster Youth.
CASA Volunteers give a voice to our community’s children who need us the most. Children with a CASA Volunteer are:
-
Half as likely to re-enter foster care
-
Substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care
-
Connected with more Support Services
-
More likely to perform better academically
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY…..
Have the support of a consistent, responsible adult who is not obligated but chooses to be part of their life during a time of great crisis.

“As a CASA we often don’t know what kind of difference we are making in a child’s life. The day my CASA child reached over and grabbed my hand while we were in court and said “I’m so glad you are here” made me realize how meaningful my role is. As a CASA you WILL make an impact on a child’s life – whether it is for a lifetime, or on a specific day. That is why I am a CASA.”
~ Sonja, CASA Volunteer
