Make a life-changing difference in a child's life-become a CASA Volunteer in Weld County!
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Volunteers are everyday people-just like you-who are trained to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. At Life Stories Child & Family Advocacy, we empower CASA Volunteers to be the consistent adult presence children, in the child welfare system, need and deserve.

The impact is real. Children with a CASA Volunteer:
- Are more likely to find a safe, permanent home
- Receive more support services like therapy and tutoring
- Do better in school and received educational services when needed
- Have a consistent adult who cares
