Children enter foster care after suffering abuse, neglect, or abandonment. Their whole world changes overnight - new home, new caregivers, new school, new everything. This is the time they need the support of a caring adult more than ever. We need generous people, like you, to show up for them. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are volunteers trained by Voices for Children and matched with a child or sibling group in foster care. A CASA spends quality time with the youth and learns about every aspect of their case. This allows the CASA to effectively advocate for them in court, school, medical settings, and more to ensure all of their personalized needs are being met. A CASA makes sure a child’s voice is heard. Many children in Riverside County foster care are currently waiting for a CASA volunteer of their own. With just 10-15 hours a month, you can help a child thrive and put them on a path toward a successful future. To learn more about the role of a CASA, sign up for an online Volunteer Information Session at www.speakupnow.org/volunteer

Have you wanted to get more involved in your community, but were unsure where to start? Court Appointed Special Advocates (or CASAs) are volunteers that provide support to youth in foster care to ensure they have what they need to thrive. There is no prior experience necessary, we provide the training and staff support you will need to help a youth in foster care thrive. Impact of a CASA volunteer - youth with CASAs are less likely to re-enter the foster care system - youth with CASAs receive the services they need sooner, longer, and with more consistency - youth with CASAs have more hope and a brighter outlook on their future Consider giving 10-15 hours a month, and you can make a difference in the life of a foster youth.

Studies show that foster youth with CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) get the services they need sooner, longer, and have better overall outcomes. This is especially true for youth who are a part of the LGBTQIA community. Right now there is an urgent need for volunteers to help these youth receive the resources and support they need to thrive. As a CASA volunteer, you will spend 10-15 hours a month working with and advocating for youth in foster care. If you, or someone you know, is interested in helping youth in foster care, we invite you to attend an information session and learn how you can help.
