What they do:
Mission: The National CASA/GAL Association, together with state and local member programs, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive.

In Plain Language: CASA provides a volunteer advocate to children in the foster care system. They provide independent over site and reporting to the Judge in a dependency-neglect case.

The Problem: Overwhelmed Systems

Child welfare systems are in a state of crisis, partly due to a devastating opioid epidemic.
More than 440,000 children are in foster care on any given day.
The average child in foster care spends more than a year in care.

The Solution: Advocates from the Community

Volunteer advocates are screened, trained and supported by CASA/GAL program staff.
CASA/GAL volunteers form a one-on-one relationship with a child and get a full picture of the case.
Judges depend on CASA/GAL volunteers for critical information to help them make the most well-informed decisions.
