Child Advocates of Placer County
In Placer County, there are over 400 children and youth detained by the court and placed into foster care due to something parents did or didn't do!
As a volunteer with Child Advocates of Placer County, you can make a difference in the lives of a foster child or at-risk youth or family!
What do our Volunteers do?
Our volunteers are trained to be Court Appointed Special Advocates ( CASA's).
Once trained, CASA volunteers are matched to a case and either:
- advocate for a foster or at-risk youth
- mentor a struggling family
No Experience Necessary! Two Hours a Week is all it takes!
What to expect as a Volunteer ?
We'll train you.
We'll team you with a supervisor
We'll match your to a case
We'll provide you with community and support
You'll build a trusted relationship with your foster youth
You'll be the 'eyes and ears' for the court
You'll likely describe your volunteer experiences as amazing, humbling, life-changing, or inspiring!
One of our CASA volunteers said:
"Wow, it has been SUCH a joy mentoring my youth. She is a bright young girl with
a solid future, and I would like nothing more than to stay connected with her.
She was my first CASA case and I feel so blessed to have been paired with her.
I have learned so much and I am truly grateful for the experience."
How do I get started?
We offer several "info sessions" each month, which is the first step. Go to
