关于我们
The National Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) / Guardian ad Litem (GAL) Association for Children, together with its network of 939 state organizations and local programs in 49 states and the District of Columbia, supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy so every child who has experienced abuse or neglect can be safe, have a permanent home, and the opportunity to thrive. National CASA/GAL leads the continued growth and development of this extensive national network of CASA/GAL programs, each of which recruits, trains and supports volunteers who advocate in court for the best interests of children and youth who are in the child welfare system or foster care. CASA and GAL volunteers are appointed by judges to advocate for children and youth. Volunteers work with legal and child welfare professionals, educators and service providers to ensure that judges have all the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child. For many children, their CASA or GAL volunteer will be the one consistent adult in their lives. The positive impact of a CASA or GAL volunteer can help a child thrive.

"Determined to find a way to help, Brenda researched therapeutic options and discovered horse-riding classes, which are often used to help children process trauma. Brenda worked tirelessly to ensure all the necessary paperwork was completed, and Gracie’s first lesson was scheduled." -- Gracie’s journey to healing and hope with a CASA volunteer by her side https://lnkd.in/g8WKFr_e

We honor the work of Christine James-Brown, former President and CEO of the Child Welfare League of America, Inc. Ms. James-Brown has lent her expertise to improving the quality and availability of child welfare and related services by setting higher standards for all. Because of her efforts, all participants in the child welfare system have tougher standards to show accountability and achieve the quality outcomes children and families deserve. ???????? #NationalBlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateBlackHistory

We are grateful for the transformative advocacy of Marian Wright Edelman, founder and President Emerita of the Children’s Defense Fund (CDF), one of the nation’s strongest voices for children and families. Ms. Edelman has spent her professional career advocating for Americans who face socio-economic disadvantage, and she has created groundbreaking programs to address that inequality, including the “Leave No Child Behind” mission, which ensures every child has a healthy and fair start in their very early years. ???????? #NationalBlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistoryMonth #CelebrateBlackHistory
