About Us
Founded in 1987, CalCASA’s mission is to ensure children in the
foster care system have both a voice and the services they need for a stable
future. CalCASA achieves this mission by strengthening California’s network of
local CASA programs:
o As a capacity builder: supporting CASA programs through legal, operational and programmatic technical assistance; developing quality training, curriculum and resources; identifying best practices to share and replicate; and evaluating CASA program compliance and ensuring alignment with state and national standards and legislation.
o As an advocate: advocating at the state and national level for progressive policies, practices, and resources that improve the lives of children, youth and young adults in the dependency system.
o As an alliance builder: identifying and pursuing valuable strategic alliances that leverage and/or expand resources for children in foster care state-wide.
o As an influence builder: amplifying the communications of the CalCASA network members; serving as a spokesperson for the network and advancing CASA awareness and branding.
