"CASA is a child's voice in dependency court, providing advocacy, stability, and hope to children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned."


Court Appointed Special Advocates
of Santa Cruz County

As many as 600 local children each year live in the Santa Cruz County foster care system because of parental abuse or neglect. Each day they face uncertainty and trauma, their lives a sea of ever-changing professionals who –although well-meaning- are nonetheless strangers; police, social workers, foster parents, therapists, judges, lawyers and many others.

This is where CASA steps in. For more than 180 of these children each year, there is one person consistently there for them, one person whose focus and reassuring presence does not change; their volunteer CASA Advocate.  Read more.
