Since its creation by a family court judge in Seattle, Court Appointed Special Advocates has become one of the most effective programs of its kind. Today there are 949 CASA programs around the country. It is a unique blend of private support, public need and the kind of people power that comes from more than 76,000 volunteers all committed to the rights of every child in the foster care and child welfare system.
Key Outcomes for the CASA Model
A child with a CASA volunteer is more likely to find a safe, permanent home:
Children with CASA volunteers get more help while in the system...
... and are more likely to have a consistent, responsible adult presence.
Children with CASA volunteers spend less time in foster care...
... and are less likely to be bounced from home to home.
Children with CASA volunteers do better in school...
... and score better on nine protective factors
