We Are Child Advocates
When a child suffers abuse or neglect and is placed in an overburdened child welfare system, who speaks for the child? We do.
We ensure through the uncertainties, the child’s voice is heard and their needs remain a priority. CASA volunteers provide a stable, consistent adult presence in their lives. We advocate for their best interest in the court and the community. As a professional member of the child’s team, CASAs get to know the child, gather information from those involved in the child’s life and make informed recommendations to the court about what is best for the child.
Together, our dedicated team supports over 200 volunteers in their advocacy for over 500 of our community’s most vulnerable children.
