Recommend a voice that you know to become a CASA volunteer!
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) with Voices for Children are changing the lives of children in foster care every day. These compassionate volunteers create change for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Take five minutes and recommend a friend, family member, or co-worker to become a CASA!

Right now, there is a critical need for bilingual (English - Spanish) community members to become CASA volunteers and advocate for children in foster care.

What is a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)?

Consistent Presence

Children in foster care have experienced abuse and neglect. Once they enter the dependency system, their world suddenly includes court hearings, social workers, attorneys, and often new homes and schools. Amidst it all, a CASA is the one consistent, caring presence for a child.

Problem-Solver

From helping a child get glasses to ensuring their records transfer to new schools, a CASA is an expert problem-solver who makes things happen. With resources provided by Voices for Children, CASAs work alongside social workers, caregivers, attorneys, and other professionals to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

Advocate

At regular intervals, CASAs report on children’s progress and needs. A CASA is able to help the judge understand not only the child’s needs, but also what they like to do, what their favorite color is, or why they are struggling in school. This individualized advocacy helps judges make the most informed decisions for each child’s future.

CASA Volunteers Needed

For a child in foster care, their CASA often becomes the most consistent adult in their life. You can be that person.

Attend an Info Session

This year, thousands of children just like Luis, Sean, and Anthony will spend time in foster care in San Diego and Riverside Counties. These children need you to speak up for them.
