Joshua has been in foster care since age 8. In the past 4 years, he has lived in 6 different homes. He’s been separated from his two younger siblings and continues to struggle in school because of constantly moving around. He desperately wants a forever family. When Joshua grows up, he wants to be a social worker so he can help other foster children get adopted.
Joshua needs someone to look out for his best interest and help him find a safe and permanent home. He needs a CASA volunteer.
Become a CASA volunteer and help advocate for children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect.

Mission Statement
The mission of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Santa Barbara County is to assure a safe, permanent, nurturing home for all abused and/or neglected children by providing a highly trained volunteer to advocate for them in the court system.
Description
Every day in this country, 1,900 children become victims of abuse or neglect, and four of them will die. Every day. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children is a network of 949 community-based programs that recruit, train and support citizen-volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in courtrooms and communities. Volunteer advocates--empowered directly by the courts--offer judges the critical information they need to ensure that each child’s rights and needs are being attended to while in foster care.
Volunteers stay with children until they are placed in loving permanent homes. For many abused children, a CASA volunteer is the only constant adult presence in their lives.
