CASA of Butte, Glenn, Shasta, & Tehama Counties

CASA of Butte, Glenn, Shasta, & Tehama Counties NVCSS CASA is a program of providing trained volunteer advocates for youth in the Child Welfare System.

We proudly serve Butte, Glenn, Shasta, & Tehama Counties, ensuring every child has a caring voice and someone in their corner. Northern Valley Catholic Social Service’s CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) program recruits and trains dedicated community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children in foster care. CASA volunteers serve as the “voice for every foster child,” offering

consistent support, gathering information, and making recommendations in the child’s best interests—from courtrooms to classrooms. Our volunteers work with legal, educational, and social services to ensure that each child’s unique needs are understood and addressed. Serving youth across Butte, Glenn, Shasta, and Tehama counties, CASA provides meaningful opportunities to make a direct impact in a child’s life. Whether you want to volunteer, donate, or learn more about child advocacy, we invite you to join our mission to help foster youth thrive.

Juneteenth is Freedom Day, marking the exact day in 1865 when federal troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, to ensure all enslaved people were freed.

At CASA, we pause on this day to reflect on our country’s history of anti-Blackness and the disenfranchisement of Black communities. We invite you to join us in transforming the foster care and juvenile justice systems that serve a disproportionate number of Black youth.

During Immigrant Heritage Month, we remain committed to equity, inclusion, and culturally responsive advocacy so every child can thrive.
Our CASA volunteers are trained to center each child’s lived experience, including their culture and language. At the systemic level, we train local programs on how to respond to immigration-related issues, and advocate for bills that support our immigrant families in accessing the services and supports they need.

💙 We are grateful to share that the revised California State Budget includes the full restoration of $20 million in funding for CASA programs statewide.

Thank you to Speaker Robert Rivas, Pro Tem Monique Limón, Budget Chairs John Laird and Jesse Gabriel, and our budget champions, Assemblymember Mia Bonta and Senator Tom Umberg, for recognizing the critical role CASA volunteers play in the lives of children and youth involved in foster care and for including the full restoration of CASA funding in the revised state budget.

We are also deeply appreciative of the legislators representing our North State communities, Assemblymember Heather Hadwick, Congressman James Gallagher, and Senator Megan Dahle, for supporting CASA programs and advocating for children across Northern California.

While this is an important milestone, the work is not finished. The budget now moves to Governor Gavin Newsom for consideration, and we encourage our community to help ensure CASA funding remains in the final state budget.

You can share your support with the Governor and urge him to keep CASA funding in our state budget at:
www.gov.ca.gov/contact
(Select "Legislation Issues/Concerns" as the topic.) or (916) 445-2841.

Together, we can help ensure more children in foster care have the consistent support, advocacy, and hope that a CASA volunteer provides.

It was a big week for CASA of Shasta & Tehama Counties!

👋 Happy Say Hi Day! 👋

For many of us, saying "hi" can be the hardest part of any relationship. That first introduction, the first conversation, the first step toward connection can feel intimidating.

But CASA volunteers know that sometimes a simple "hello" can change a child's life.

By showing up, listening, and building trusting relationships with children who have experienced abuse or neglect, CASA volunteers become consistent, caring adults in a child's corner. What starts with a simple greeting can grow into a powerful connection that helps a child feel seen, heard, and valued.

Today, we're celebrating the courage it takes to reach out and connect—and we're grateful for the CASA volunteers who do it every day.

CASA Volunteer Gary in Butte County said it best: I became a CASA because youth in care need more than advocacy—they need stability and a positive example.

"They need a good example of how a man lives life, plans ahead, and makes good choices."

For many foster youth, social workers and foster placements may change over time. Often, their CASA becomes the one consistent adult relationship they can count on.

"They need a stable friend."

"Being a CASA is incredibly rewarding. You get to watch a young person heal, grow, and begin making better life choices. And your voice matters—judges rely on CASA reports when making life-changing decisions for these children."

Seen. Heard. Understood.

Representation Matters. Every child deserves someone who understands their culture, language, and experiences.

The need for advocates is growing, and so is the need for diverse voices. We are seeking CASA volunteers from all backgrounds to help ensure every child feels represented and supported.

As a CASA volunteer, you can make a lasting difference. By building a consistent, caring relationship, you help ensure a child's voice is heard and their best interests remain at the center of important decisions.

Right now, children in our community are waiting for someone who can help them feel seen, heard, and understood.

Could that person be you?

Volunteer now and become a voice for a child.
