National CASA News

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author, Anna Quindlen
"You go into a court room and you will see lawyers who know the law and have dozens of kids' files, or you have social workers who know the regulations and have dozens of kids' files. But if a CASA volunteer is in the room, you will see they have just one file, and what they know is that one child. And that can make all the difference to a judge's decision regarding how the rest of that child's life is going to go."             - Anna Quindlen, on CBS "The Early Show."

National CASA supports local community CASA organizations and volunteers.

Everyone can make a difference.
In the United States over one half million children are in foster care because they cannot safely live with their families. Nearly 70,000 National CASA volunteers serve approximately 280,000 of those abused or neglected children every year.  We invite you to learn more about

The Powerful Voice!
Our supporters are key to the success of volunteer-based advocacy for children, and the goal of The Powerful Voice! is to keep you informed of how your support allows us to fulfill our mission to champion the best interests of abused and neglected children.

CASA volunteers are the only volunteers that are appointed by a judge and empowered to stand up for an abused or neglected child in court.
