Will you be the voice for a child in foster care? 

"My CASA volunteering gives my life MEANING and is also FUN.  I can schedule it to suit my calendar.  My CASA youth and I jointly choose what to do, so we both have fun. What else am I doing (work, exercise, movie-going, hanging with friends, travel, hiking, biking, cooking, etc.) that could possibly be as meaningful and satisfying as creating an authentic, warm connection with a young person in need of acceptance?"    - Monica, current CASA Volunteer

A CASA is an advocate for an abused and neglected child in foster care. In a life full of uncertainty and endless change, you can be one consistent and caring adult. Learn about the power of a CASA volunteer in the video below.

Becoming a CASA is likely to be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, full of surprises, challenges, and self-discovery. 

My own children are adults, living their own lives.  Before CASA, I missed having young people in my life.  I missed learning about the latest movie heartthrobs and sports heroes.  I missed the wonder and discovery of childhood and growing up.  I missed the youthful angst when frustrations seemed (but weren't really) insurmountable.  As a CASA volunteer, I stay in touch with my "inner child" as well as have a connection with a young person who has had some bad breaks in life. Happily ever after for both of us. - Mary, CASA volunteer

"Being a CASA is a wonderful, rich experience for a volunteer advocate!"

- Gail Nebenzahl, California's 2014 Volunteer of the Year
