CASA Philadelphia

CASA Philadelphia Find out more at the links below. Each CASA volunteer gets to know a foster child and speak on behalf of his/her best interests and wishes.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Philadelphia trains and supports volunteers to advance the welfare of children in foster care through effective advocacy. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a national association in the United States that supports and promotes court-appointed advocates for abused or neglected children in order to provide children with a safe and he

althy environment in permanent homes. CASA volunteers are not lawyers; they are caring citizens appointed by a Family Court judge to represent the best interests of children in foster care. With the personal attention and care of a CASA volunteer advocate, foster children's needs are met and a brighter future begins.

Every child deserves access to the health care they need to learn, grow, and thrive.

Vision care can be easy to overlook, especially for youth in foster care who may experience placement changes and disruptions in medical care. A missing pair of glasses or missed follow-up appointment can affect school, daily activities, and overall well-being.

CASA Philadelphia volunteers advocate for the whole child. By asking about vision screenings, helping ensure glasses travel with a child, and raising unmet health needs with the care team and court, volunteers can help prevent important needs from falling through the cracks.

CASA Philadelphia is proud to celebrate 15 young people who graduated from high school this year.

For youth in foster care, graduation can reflect years of perseverance through school changes, disrupted routines, and other significant challenges. Behind many of these milestones is the steady encouragement of a CASA volunteer advocate.

On average, our graduates were supported by a CASA advocate for five years. Volunteers help youth navigate school needs, celebrate achievements, and stay connected through life’s transitions.

Congratulations to the CASA Class of 2026. We honor your resilience, determination, and the bright futures ahead. Read our latest blog post, “Every Diploma Tells a Story: Celebrating CASA’s Class of 2026,” to learn more: https://blog.casaphiladelphia.org/

Could you be a volunteer advocate?

Trained community members like you are appointed by judges to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. No legal background is required, just a commitment to showing up for a child who needs you.

CASA Philadelphia has 135 volunteers serving our community. We are always looking for more. Learn how to get involved at pacasa.org/start

CASA Philadelphia volunteers are specially trained advocates appointed by the court to provide individualized advocacy for children in the welfare system.

CASA Philadelphia is proud to have 119 volunteers serving children in our community — trained, appointed, and trusted.

Each volunteer is assigned to one child or sibling group. They work alongside case managers, families, foster parents, attorneys, and service providers, focused entirely on that one child or family's needs. On Court Appointed Special Advocates Day, we honor them.
