CASA, A Voice for Children

Since 1996, CASA has helped thousands of abused and neglected children in foster care. We provide educational, emotional, physical and early intervention services for children of all ages. These children are victims of physical, sexual, and/or emotional abuse and severe neglect. By state statute there is only one CASA program in each county.

CASA representatives meet with children weekly, forming a vital relationship and assessing needs. During the time a child is in the foster care system, they will have, on average, 5 different social workers and 3 foster care placements. CASA provides the only consistent adult that follows the child throughout the time they are in foster care. We build trusting relationships with the children, provide them with essential and non-essential items, and help them cope with adversity and develop resilience.

Having a long-term, stable and positive relationship with a trained adult is the single most important factor influencing positive outcomes for children in foster care. We provide educational, emotional, physical and early intervention services for children of all ages.
