    About Us

    Alameda County CASA serves abused, neglected, or abandoned children by recruiting, training, and supervising adult volunteers who are appointed by a juvenile court judge to speak for the best interests of the child. They also aid the judge in finding the child a safe, permanent home. The one-on-one relationship that forms between the CASA volunteer and the dependent child is often the only stable relationship the child has while in foster care.
