Washoe CASA

Washoe CASA Court Appointed Special Advocates make a difference for abused and neglected children as advocates in Family Court proceedings in Washoe County.

Washoe CASA
In our community for over 30 years. Washoe CASA is a program of the Second Judicial District Court. The program began in 1990 and is part of a national network of 979 state and local CASA programs in 49 states serving children who are part of the foster care system. What Do CASA Volunteers Do? Volunteers, appointed by judges, get to know the child by talking with everyone in that child

’s life: parents, relatives, foster parents, teachers, attorneys, social workers, counselors and others. They use the information they gather to inform judges about what the child needs and act on behalf and in the best interests of the child.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and progress.

At Washoe CASA, we believe every child deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. As we reflect on this day, we reaffirm our commitment to advocating for the well-being of all children and helping ensure they have the opportunity to thrive.

Why become a CASA advocate?

Taking the first step can feel intimidating, but like Maggie, many of our advocates discover that the journey is not only meaningful, but life-changing.

You don’t need to be an expert, just someone who cares.

Children in foster care need consistent, compassionate adults who will show up and speak up for them.
