OREGON CASA NETWORK

Court Appointed Special Advocates – CASAs –  are specially trained volunteers that the local court appoints to advocate for the best interests of children who have been traumatized by abuse or neglect to make sure these children are safe and thrive.

“Being in foster care is living in a constant state of flux: homes, schools, families… everything is always changing, often suddenly and without warning. My only constant was my CASA advocate. Without her, I would have been lost in the system.”

– Melissa, foster care alumni

Children with CASA volunteers are less likely to suffer re-abuse and more likely to find a permanent home, spend an average of five months less time in foster care, and do better in school. With your support, we change lives.
