California CASA Association

About California CASA Association

The mission of California CASA is to ensure that children and youth in the child welfare and juvenile justice systems have both a voice and the services they need to thrive. We achieve this by strengthening and empowering California’s network of local CASA programs and advocating for effective child welfare policies and practices. Our vision is that every child in the California child welfare and juvenile justice systems who needs advocacy will have the transformative support of a CASA volunteer. The California Court Appointed Special Advocates Association provides direct services to 44 local CASA programs in 53 counties across the state so they can recruit, train, and oversee thousands of CASA volunteers making a difference in the lives of children in foster care. California CASA is one of 49 state CASA organizations across the United States and is a member of National CASA/GAL. California CASA Association is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (IRS Tax I.D. #68-0163010) and all donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
