The mission of CASA is to ensure a safe, permanent and nurturing home for every abused and/or neglected child in Stanislaus County by providing a highly-trained volunteer to advocate for them within the dependency court system. ​The goal of CASA volunteer advocates is to prevent abused, neglected and abandoned children from becoming lost in the foster care system by providing individual and high quality advocacy to the foster children we serve.

Program Information

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are trained community volunteers who are appointed to speak for the abused and neglected children in the Juvenile Superior Court of Stanislaus County. They are sworn officers of the Court under the supervision of the CASA Executive Director and Case Managers, who work alongside attorneys and social workers. An advocate is a caring adult who works for the best interest of a child and reports those interests to the court.
