Become a volunteer advocate for a child!

CASA seeks to reduce and reverse the effects of child abuse and neglect. Nowhere in the nation is the problem greater than in Los Angeles County, where 30,000 children who have been abused or neglected are under the jurisdiction of the Dependency Court. One-third of these children are age 0-5; infants and toddlers are the fastest growing group of abused children.

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (or CASA) is a trained, dedicated and caring community volunteer, who has the opportunity to broadly influence the life of a foster child by advocating across many important life issues, including permanent placement, health care, education, and enrichment activities. Many more children can thrive with the intensive intervention of a CASA volunteer, and this is how you can help. The first step toward becoming a CASA volunteer is attending an information session. Join us for an hour to learn how you can make a much needed and invaluable difference in the life of a foster child.

CASA of Los Angeles will be holding information sessions at the Los Angeles Fire Department - Fire Station 87 in Granada Hills, and at the Robert M. Wilkinson Multipurpose Senior Center on January 8th and 22nd of 2016.
