Become a CASA Volunteer

Stand up for foster children so that they can stand a chance.

Your local CASA program offers a volunteer opportunity like no other. As officers of the court, CASA volunteers, also known in some areas as volunteer guardians ad litem (GALs), are empowered to make a lifelong difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.

Last year, our 68,000+ CASA and GAL volunteers advocated for 240,000 children—an impressive number yet just a third of the children who pass through the child welfare system each year. Our volunteers are an amazing force for good, but we need more of them. Our vision is that every child who needs a volunteer will have one. With your help, we can reach that goal.

There are more than 1,000 CASA and guardian ad litem program offices training volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children across the country.
