Help someone by just being you. Advocate for a child in foster care.
Court Appointed Special Advocates, known as CASA volunteers, speak up for the best interests of youth in foster care and provide a stable presence in their lives. They help give a child self-confidence and build resiliency while they advocate for their best interest in court, in schools, and the community.
CASA volunteers are recruited and trained by local CASA programs in each county. They are community members from all walks of life who dedicate about ten hours a month towards helping a child in the foster care system.
You can be a positive role model and advocate.

Volunteer Stories
“I volunteer because no child should ever feel alone or lost in the child welfare system. Foster care can be difficult and scary for a child. They need to know they have someone in their corner, someone looking out for their best interest. It has been the best volunteer experience of my life.”
— David, CASA Volunteer
“It’s an incredible opportunity to make a difference in a child or youth’s life during a difficult time.”
— Bob, CASA volunteer
“I had hoped I could help a child and perhaps make a difference in their life. But this experience went well beyond what I hoped. I get back tenfold what I give. This experience and calling myself a CASA is a gift I can never repay.”
— Linda, CASA volunteer
