Are you passionate about making a positive impact in your community? Do you believe every child deserves a safe and loving home? If so, consider becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer.
What is CASA? CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the foster care system. They ensure that these children are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.
Why Volunteer?
- Make a Lasting Impact: Your advocacy can change the trajectory of a child’s life.
- Be the Voice: Speak up for those who can’t speak for themselves in court.
- Flexible Commitment: Volunteer around your schedule with training provided.
- Join a Supportive Community: Connect with like-minded individuals who share your commitment to children’s welfare.
Who Can Volunteer?
- Compassionate and Empathetic: Able to understand and empathize with the challenges children in foster care face.
- Dedicated and Reliable: Committed to following through on advocacy responsibilities.
- Objective and Non-Judgmental: Willing to listen and advocate based on the child’s best interests.
How to Get Involved:
- Apply Today: Visit our website at www.speakupnow.org/volunteer to fill out an application.
- Attend an Information Session: Learn more about CASA and ask any questions you may have.
- Spread the Word: Share this opportunity with others who may be interested in making a difference.

Mission Statement
Voices for Children transforms the lives of abused children in San Diego County by providing them with volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). We believe that every child deserves a safe and permanent home, and to that end, will review and monitor every court file in the system, provide a CASA to every child in the foster care system who needs one, and advocate to improve the lives of San Diego County’s foster children.
Description
CASAs can change the trajectory of a foster child’s life. They focus on an individual child’s needs, working one-on-one with a child or set of siblings. They provide a source of consistency and stability, visiting with their case children at least once a month. CASAs gather information from files and reports and communicate with social workers, family members, school officials, and other professionals in the children’s lives. They use this information and firsthand observations to advocate for the children’s best interests in Court, as well as in other aspects of their lives, such as education, health, and living arrangements. No experience is necessary! We provide all the training you’ll need, as well as a dedicated staff supervisor to partner with you on the case. With just 10-15 hours a month, you can make a difference in the life of a foster child!
