CASA of San Mateo County supports Court Appointed Special Advocates(CASAs) giving a foster child a voice in the court room. CASA volunteers create a one-on-one, consistent relationship with the child they serve. They also mentor the child throughout the time the child is under the court's supervision. As part of our commitment to embracing the community that we serve, CASA of San Mateo County strives to reach volunteers that represent the diversity of our area, including gender. Last fiscal year 12% of our volunteers identified as male compared to the 88% identifying as female. CASA of San Mateo County wants to change this statistic! Male Mentor's can change and empower a young man's life and be a positive role model for that child. Currently, many male children are left without a CASA advocate due to lack of male volunteers. Volunteers must be 21 years or older.

As CASA volunteer you develop a trusting relationship with children who have been placed in the foster care system because of abuse or neglect or young people who are part of the probation system. As young people navigate a period of trauma, uncertainty and change, a CASA volunteer may be the only consistent and caring adult presence in a child’s life. CASA volunteers are adults 21 years of age or older who come from all walks of life. They are community members who care about children and who form a personal connection, a connection that for many is life changing.
