Do you have 10-15 hours a month to help a foster child?
Become a CASA. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are volunteers, trained to advocate for children in foster care in the courtroom, classroom, and community.
CASA of San Joaquin County matches each CASA with a staff member, who works with them on their case. CASA of San Joaquin County is the only nonprofit organization in San Joaquin County designated by the Court to recruit, train, and lead CASA volunteers.
Currently, there are almost 1,600 children in San Joaquin’s foster care system. Many of these children are in constant crisis and feel very much alone UNTIL they find their CASA!
