Our Funded Partners
Our partners are local providers that have been selected because of their proven ability to improve the outcomes for our county’s youngest children and their families.
The goal of our Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program is to prevent abused, neglected, abandoned, and at-risk children from becoming lost in the Juvenile Dependency and/or Delinquency Court system. CASA volunteers are appointed by a judge to advocate for foster children in court. The CASA's volunteer role is to both advocate for and mentor the child. CASAs are often called the 'eyes and ears of the court, and the voice of the child" in juvenile court proceedings.
