Volunteer to make a difference in the lives of children in foster care due to abuse and neglect

CASA Volunteers make a difference in the lives of children and youth living in foster care in Prince George’s County. Through our partnership with the Prince George’s County Child Welfare Court, we serve approximately 200 youth per year. At any given time, there are 500 youth experiencing foster care in Prince George’s County. We need your help to close that gap!

By becoming a CASA Volunteer today, you can positively impact the lives of youth in foster care by serving as a mentor and an advocate.

CASA provides free training and professional support to ensure our volunteers can advocate for the best interest of the child. Our training services and advocacy efforts can be utilized to increase your civic participation, professional development skills, and community service requirements.
