COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATE OF HUMBOLDT


  • Mission

    The goal of our Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program is to ensure every child in the Humboldt County Dependency Court System (foster care) has a caring, stable adult in their life to mitigate the effects of having experienced abuse, neglect, and/or abandonment.

    About Us

    CASA Advocates are volunteers. They are not social workers. They are not paid. CASA Advocates are members of our community just like you. They are educators, service workers, retirees, and people who have aged out of foster care. CASA volunteers stay with a child through the entire court process. They represent stability and safety to children in the foster care system, who often have none. CASA Volunteers work with legal and child welfare professionals, educators, service providers and family members to ensure the child’s voice is heard. Their advocacy enables judges to make the most well-informed decision for each child.
