Become a Positive Male Role Model & Advocate for Youth in Foster Care

Apply now for our next Pre-Service Training session.

While 50% of the youth CASA serve are young men who have been abused or neglected, only 10% of CASA’s volunteer advocates are men, able to draw from their perspectives and experiences as they advocate for and mentor a young man in need. The need for strong support in the lives of male youth in foster care is urgent. Change a child's story today and become a CASA volunteer!
