How We Help

Every year, many children in San Luis Obispo County are reported abused or neglected. Some of them must be removed from their homes because it isn’t safe for them to remain. Many enter foster care and wait for the complex, often lengthy process in which a judge will determine where they may safely and permanently live. During this time, they may move from one temporary home to another, never knowing what will happen next. This is where a CASA volunteer steps in.

CASA STORIES

A CASA volunteer provides a child who is in the court system due to abuse or neglect with a caring advocate and a reliable adult who gets to know them and speaks up for them in court. These stories illustrate how CASA volunteers change lives.

We need your help.
