Volunteer to Advocate for Local Children in Foster Care

Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. Too many spend years moving from one temporary home to another. They have no family to call their own. They are more likely than other children to face homelessness, unemployment, even prison as adults. That's why CASA of Gila County is important. CASA of Gila County was created to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA Volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court to ensure that they are receiving all necessary services while they are in care. The result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive.
