CASA of San Joaquin County recruits and trains volunteers of the community who are appointed by the judge to serve as officers of the juvenile court and advocate; in court, at home and at school for the very best interest of the foster youth in San Joaquin County. When reunification is no longer a possibility, CASA’s overall goal is to find each foster youth a safe and permanent home with loving and supportive individuals.

CASA of San Joaquin County works closely with HSA Child Welfare Services, the Superior Court of San Joaquin County, SENECA and the Juvenile Probation Department of San Joaquin County in order to access unique resource services and programs that allow us to support our youth further in Recidivism Reduction, extended family finding and preparing for transitions into adulthood.
