DID YOU KNOW? Youth living in foster care who have a CASA volunteer are more likely to graduate from high school and attend college. It is estimated nationally that only 50% of children in foster care leave the system without a high school diploma. You can help change that. Become a CASA volunteer in your community!

Every child deserves to feel safe, supported, and heard. Unfortunately, too many children in foster care face the system without a steady voice to speak up for their best interests. That’s where Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) come in.

By becoming a CASA volunteer, you can be that voice, which is a consistent presence ensuring that children don’t get lost in the process and instead find stability, hope, and a brighter future.

It doesn’t take legal experience, just compassion, commitment, and a desire to help. Your voice could be the one that changes a child’s story.

A child’s story is not defined by the circumstances that brought them into foster care.

CASA advocates step into that story to listen, encourage, speak up, and make sure a child knows they are not alone. By being a consistent presence during an uncertain time, CASA volunteers can help create stability and open the door to a brighter future. One caring adult can make a lasting difference. One CASA advocate can help change a child’s story.

At CASA, our volunteers advocate for children by helping the court understand the importance of these family connections. Whether that means supporting safe reunification, maintaining contact with relatives, or identifying kinship placements, CASA ensures family bonds are thoughtfully considered in every decision.

CASA advocates play a vital role in our foster care system by giving children a consistent, caring voice and making sure their needs are heard and their best interests remain the priority.

A CASA volunteer can help change the course of a child's story - bringing hope, stability, and the belief that their future can be brighter. One advocate. One child. One story changed.

For a child in foster care, so much can change in an instant - their homes, schools, routines, even the people they trust. What shouldn’t change is having someone who stays by their side.

CASA volunteers are that constant. They take the time to listen, to learn a child’s story, and to speak up when it matters most. In a system that can feel overwhelming, a CASA volunteer brings stability, compassion, and a voice a child can rely on. Learn more today at CASAofNJ.org.
