Children Have Never Needed Us More
Imagine how it would feel to be told that your mom isn't "safe" to be around. Imagine being pulled away from your friends and everything else you've ever known. Imagine walking into a room full of people dressed in suits, talking about what should happen to you next. Then, imagine someone standing up for you and saying the exact words you want to say about your situation, but don't know how, because you are only 7 years old. CASA exists to be that someone, so that no child has to face the foster care system alone.
Become A Hero
When you become, or support a CASA volunteer, you are easing the unimaginable pain of a child. With your help, kids in the foster system will have a dependable friend in a in the midst of the undependable life they have been given. A child with a CASA volunteer is more than half as likely to re-enter the foster care system. Together we can make sure that no child faces the foster system alone.
“CASA is an organization of people with a proven record of service, excellence, high standards, determination and an unwavering commitment to abused and neglected children and to advocating for justice for all children."
- Judge Joyce Williams Warren
News, Events & Highlights
This is the Reality
Numbers tell an awful story, but the worst part is the children living that reality.
600,000 children will find themselves in U.S. foster care & family court systems this
year. On average, each one of those children will change homes three times.
The Power of CASA
Become Part of the Solution
Our budget and volunteer roster currently allows us to serve 491 children in foster care, but there are 1,300 children in foster care in Greene, Christian and Taney Counties. The need is staggering, and we can’t do it without your help. We will not stop until every child has an advocate.
