2nd Judicial District CASA
In 2019, our program was appointed to serve 200 abused and neglected children.
More than 440,000 children are in foster care on any given day.
The average child in foster care spends more than a year in care.
CASA/GAL volunteers advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Here's what that means:
Whether your interest is in giving financial support, your time, or your voice, there are many ways to get involved.
Since 1994, the 2nd Judicial District CASA Program has advocated tirelessly to ensure that every abused and neglected child appointed to us is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home.

To provide a volunteer court advocate for abused and neglected children so they may ultimately be placed in a safe, supportive and permanent home where they will thrive.
Each volunteer is appointed by a judge to advocate for a child’s best interest in court. Our volunteers help judges develop a fuller picture of each child’s life. Their advocacy enables judges to make the most well-informed decision for each child.
