About CASA
- Court Appointed Special Advocates of Santa Cruz County

Imagine being taken away from everything that is familiar to you -your parents, your siblings, your home- not because of something you have done, but because your parents can not or will not take care of you.

As many as 250 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 reassuring presence and focus does not change; their volunteer CASA Advocate. Read more.

A casa for CASA

CASA is fulfilling its dream of moving to a real home, where Advocates can bring the children to do homework, bake cookies, do art projects, learn life skills and most importantly, to experience a warm and inviting home.

Learn how you can help CASA as we prepare for the move to our new home at 813 Freedom Boulevard, Watsonville in Fall of 2010. Read More.
