CASA volunteers stand up for foster children

On February 13th, 2018 fifteen men and women joined a community of volunteers who are committed to advocating for Essex County's foster children. CASA Volunteer Advocates work diligently to ensure that each child has a voice in family court and that children receive the services they need.

There are nearly 2,000 children in foster care in Essex County, and approximately 600 children were served last year.
