ORGANIZATION: Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County

CASA Logo

CASA volunteers make a life-changing difference for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

Quick Overview
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Orange County provides a powerful voice and a meaningful connection for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and abandonment. We recruit, train, and support volunteers who are sworn in by the court as advocates for youth in foster care. No prior experience is required as CASA will provide all the training and support you need.

Impact
Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer are more likely to succeed in school and adjust to change. And they’re half as likely to re-enter the foster care system. As a volunteer, you can make all the difference for a child who has experienced abuse or neglect in our community.

Today, more than 200 vulnerable children are on CASA’s wait list, referred by a Judge or Social Worker, and needing a mentor-advocate of their own.
