CASA volunteers are trained and supported to promote the best interests of children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. They have the opportunity to improve the life of a child by advocating for the services and support that all children need: a permanent home, education, and healthcare.
The CASA role includes:
- Maintaining regular contact with the child and visiting him/her at least once a month.
- Gathering information about the child’s circumstances, evaluating the facts independently, and providing recommendations to the court by means of written reports…

Mission Statement
CASA of Los Angeles mobilizes community volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
Description
A Court Appointed Special Advocate (or CASA) volunteer makes a difference for children in foster care. CASA volunteers are paired to work one-on-one with a child and ensure they have the services and support needed in the areas important to all children: stable placement, education, and healthcare. There are 30,000 kids in the child welfare system in LA and many need the support of a CASA volunteer. The first step toward becoming a CASA volunteer is attending an information session, where we describe the role and impact our volunteers have.
