CASA of St. Louis’ Young Professionals Board is a group of twenty- and thirty-somethings who support CASA of St. Louis and further our mission through fundraising, volunteering, and spreading awareness. Members come from many walks of life and professions, and gather quarterly to network with peers and plan and strategize. The group’s primary annual fundraiser is a CASA Trivia Night each fall; they also coordinate other events throughout the year. CASA of St. Louis provides advocacy for children in foster care; our Young Professionals help make it possible!
The Young Professionals Board is growing, and open to new members, partnerships, and awareness opportunities.

About CASA of St. Louis
Location:
105 S. Central Ave., St. Louis, MO 63105, US
Mission Statement
CASA of St. Louis engages highly trained volunteers to provide best-interest court and community-based advocacy for children in the foster care system due to abuse and neglect.
Description
CASA of St. Louis helps children in foster care and their families. We recruit, train, and support community members who serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA volunteers) for children in foster care and under the jurisdiction of St. Louis City and St. Louis County Family Courts. Through dedicated, specialized advocacy we connect children and families with essential resources, ensure family connections are maintained, and monitor court-ordered service plans to achieve permanency in a safe, loving home.
On average, a child in foster care in St. Louis changes placement four times over thirty-two months before placement in a safe, permanent home. The child’s CASA volunteer stays with them through the entire process.
CASA of St. Louis is a member of the Missouri and National CASA Associations, and the United Way.
