There is a child in the foster care system waiting for a volunteer like you. With a CASA Volunteer, children are more likely to adjust to change, do well in school, and find safe, permanent homes. Get involved and Change a Child’s Story.™

A CASA Volunteer provides a judge with carefully researched background information of the child to help the court make a sound decision about that child’s future.
