Founded in 1987, the mission of California Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)Association is to ensure that children in the foster care system have both a voice and the services that they need for a stable future.

California Court Appointed Special Advocate Associations (California CASA's) mission is to ensure that children in the foster care system have both a voice and the services that they need for a stable future.
California CASA Association supports the development, growth, and continuation ofprograms that recruit and train volunteers to advocate for abused and neglectedchildren throughout California. CASA volunteers establish stable supportive relationships with children in the foster care system, getting to know their unique history and making informed recommendations to the courts. California CASA Association improves the scope, quality, and impact of the CASA network by: a) strengthening local CASA programs with technical assistance, quality training, and resources, b) working in partnership with California Judicial Councilto ensure that local CASA programs are in compliance with State and NationalStandards, c) communicating the CASA perspective and advocating for child welfare policies, and d) identifying and pursuing valuable strategic alliances that leverage and/or expand CASA program resources statewide. When California CASA Association was founded, only a handful of CASA programs existed. Today, with California CASA support and leadership, nearly every county in the state is served by a local CASA program. This translates to a network of 44 CASA programs and 8,798 volunteer advocates serving over 14,150 foster children in 51 counties throughout the state.
