Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Sacramento was established in 1991 to ensure consistency and support for children in the foster care system in Sacramento County through the use of volunteer advocates, advancing the best interests of each child. We match one caring adult volunteer with one vulnerable child to provide support, mentorship, and a "voice in court".
There are over 1,100 youth in foster care in Sacramento County, and last year, CASA served about 22% of them. Right now, 40 youth are on our list waiting to be matched with a CASA Volunteer.
Our vision is that every child in need is appointed a CASA to champion them in Court, without compromise, on the path to a safe and permanent home.
