Who We Are
CASA of Central Oregon is a non-profit that recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate in court proceedings for the best interest of children in foster care in Crook, Deschutes, and Jefferson Counties.
What We Do
Court Appointed Special Advocates (or CASAs) are highly trained and committed volunteers who ensure that each child’s individual needs remain a priority in an over-burdened child welfare system. CASA volunteers do what no one else does - they listen to the child, get to know everyone in the child’s life and then advocate for the best interest of that child in court. For many abused children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence in their lives.
CASA volunteers are citizens from all walks of life. An ordinary person who does extraordinary things for a child in foster care. They are dedicated to promoting the needs of children who have been removed from their parents' care due to neglect or abuse.
