Denver Court Appointed Special Advocates - or Denver CASA - provides support and advocacy for children with an open case in family court. Since 1995, Denver CASA has partnered with Denver Juvenile Court to provide a critical voice for these survivors of trauma, loss, abuse and neglect.
CASA Volunteers, or CASAs, are dedicated community volunteers who are highly trained and supervised by professional staff, and appointed by family court judges to advocate for kids who find themselves navigating a complicated system at a tender age. Many of the families we serve speak Spanish, so it is imperative that we find culturally responsive volunteers. It is not necessary to be completely fluent- a little Spanish goes a long way! All of Denver court is in English, so your language skills need only to be conversational.
We advocate for permanency whenever possible, secure appropriate educational, mental and physical health services, and guide the court’s decisions towards more restorative solutions, whether through safely reunifying children with their family of origin or finding nurturing and stable kinship or foster care homes where children can thrive.
We host monthly information sessions, so please connect with us here to find out more information!
