CASA for Children of Multnomah

Who We Are and What We Do: Through training and mentorship, we empower community members to stand up for abused and neglected foster children and champion their best interests in court. We dedicate our resources to recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers in order to provide quality advocacy to as many children as we can.

CASA for Children (CASA) supports nearly 500 volunteer court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) who serve and advocate for the best interests of abused, neglected and abandoned children under the protection of the Juvenile Dependency Court. This year 1,000 children will benefit from their tireless and tenacious work.

We are growing! With investment from foundation, corporate and individual funders as well as an increase in state funding, we are enhancing our ability to serve more children in the foster care system. We are in search of dynamic, thoughtful, and persistent individuals who are passionate about changing the lives of children.
