BOSTON CASA IS A NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION WHOSE MISSION IS TO ENSURE A SAFE AND PERMANENT HOME FOR COURT INVOLVED CHILDREN, WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE AND NEGLECT, IN SUFFOLK COUNTY. BOSTON CASA RECRUITS, TRAINS, AND SUPERVISES VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE APPOINTED BY JUDGES TO SERVE AS GUARDIANS AD LITEM (GALS) TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN AND YOUTH MOST OFTEN IN THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. VOLUNTEERS HAVE LEGAL STANDING AND ENSURE THAT THEIR CHILD OR SIBLING GROUP RECEIVE THE SERVICES THEY ARE ENTITLED TO. OUR VOLUNTEERS NOT ONLY ZEALOUSLY ADVOCATE FOR THESE VULNERABLE CHILDREN AND YOUTH, BUT ALSO SERVE AS A SAFE, CONSISTENT, AND POSITIVE PRESENCE DURING WHAT IS A VERY TRAUMATIC TIME IN THEIR LIVES. THROUGH OUR OLDER YOUTH ADVOCACY PROJECT, VOLUNTEERS SUPPORT YOUTH AGES 16 AND OLDER WHO WILL OR HAVE AGED OUT OF THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM. THEY PROVIDE THESE YOUTH WITH ONGOING RELATIONAL SUPPORT DURING THIS CRITICAL TIME AND ENSURE THAT THE YOUTH RECEIVE THE NECESSARY RESOURCES IN ORDER TO BE WELL POSITIONE
SINCE BECOMING AN AUTONOMOUS, NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION IN 2012, BOSTON CASA HAS TRIPLED IN SIZE AND THE NUMBER OF CHILDREN WE SERVE HAS INCREASED BY 200%. THE MOST DRAMATIC GROWTH HAS BEEN IN THE NUMBER OF YOUTH 16 AND OLDER RECEIVING ADVOCACY IN ORDER TO ADDRESS THE OFTEN BLEAK OUTCOMES THESE YOUTH ENCOUNTER. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT CHILDREN WITH A CASA VOLUNTEER ARE MORE LIKELY TO RECEIVE SERVICES WHILE IN FOSTER CARE, HAVE BETTER SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE, AND FIND A SAFE AND POSITIVE HOME. THEY ALSO ARE LESS LIKELY TO RETURN TO THE FOSTER CARE SYSTEM.
