CASA Philadelphia

CASA Philadelphia Find out more at the links below. Each CASA volunteer gets to know a foster child and speak on behalf of his/her best interests and wishes.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Philadelphia trains and supports volunteers to advance the welfare of children in foster care through effective advocacy. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a national association in the United States that supports and promotes court-appointed advocates for abused or neglected children in order to provide children with a safe and he

althy environment in permanent homes. CASA volunteers are not lawyers; they are caring citizens appointed by a Family Court judge to represent the best interests of children in foster care. With the personal attention and care of a CASA volunteer advocate, foster children's needs are met and a brighter future begins.

Today, CASA Philadelphia honors Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and recognizes the ongoing pursuit of freedom, equity, and justice.

As we support children and families involved in the foster care system, we acknowledge the profound and lasting impact that systemic inequities continue to have on Black communities. Juneteenth is both a celebration of resilience and a reminder of the work still needed to build a more just and equitable future.

We remain committed to advocating for children, uplifting families, and working alongside our community to promote fairness, dignity, and opportunity for all.

More than 3,000 abused and neglected children are in foster care in Philadelphia, and right now CASA Philadelphia can support only about 300 of them each year.

That gap is why this work matters so much. Children in foster care need advocates who can help make their needs visible and speak up for their best interests, and growing that support takes both committed volunteers and community investment.

If you’ve been looking for a way to Put Hope into Action, this is one powerful place to start

June is National Reunification Month, a time to recognize the families who work hard to safely reunify and the professionals and advocates who support that process.

At CASA Philadelphia, we know that reunification—when it can be achieved safely—is often the best outcome for children in foster care. Our volunteers play a key role in helping ensure that parents have access to the services, stability, and support they need to move toward reunification.

This month, we honor the dedication of families working to reunite and the community of advocates, caseworkers, attorneys, and volunteers who walk alongside them. Every successful reunification represents resilience, healing, and hope for the future.

Many people have heard of CASA, but may not know what the role truly involves.

CASA volunteers help the court understand the full picture of a child’s life.

They gather information by connecting with caregivers, teachers, and service providers, and by reviewing records with careful attention to a child’s needs, best interests, and wishes.

This work supports more informed decisions for children in foster care.

It is steady, thoughtful advocacy that helps ensure each child’s needs are seen and considered.
