Court Appointed Special Advocates of Sacramento County
"CASA Sacramento is a community-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to recruiting, training and supporting Court Appointed Special Advocates who serve Sacramento County’s foster children.
Founded in 1991, through major support of the Junior League of Sacramento and the Superior Court of California, Sacramento County, CASA Sacramento has sworn in over 1,985 volunteers who have served over 4,729 foster youth." - https://sacramentocasa.org/who-we-are/
Just this week, we got a note from a recently emancipated foster youth saying how much her CASA has meant to her by sticking by her side and believing in her when it seemed no one else did. Well, she just graduated from college with a Bachelors degree and got accepted into her 1st choice law school! She plans to become a children's dependency attorney!

CASA advocates provide consistent, court-appointed advocacy for children and youth in the child welfare system, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are addressed. Advocates help secure stable placements and timely access to education, health, and mental health services, supporting safety, permanency, and well-being.
Juvenile Justice Advocacy
CASA advocates support juvenile justice–impacted youth by elevating youth voice and coordinating services that promote accountability, stability, and positive development. Through individualized advocacy, CASA helps reduce barriers, support education and reentry goals, and improve long-term outcomes.
