Central Oregon, we need you.

Right now, 103 children in foster care need caring adults willing to show up, listen, and advocate on their behalf.

Our Fall 2026 CASA Volunteer Trainings begin next week in Bend and Madras, and we are making one final call for volunteers.

You don't need a legal background. You don't need special experience. You simply need a commitment to helping children navigate one of the most difficult times in their lives.

This is your opportunity to make a lasting impact right here in our community.

Applications are still being accepted. Join us and together we can Change a Child's Story™.
