CASA of San Joaquin County

06/16/2026

Behind every CASA program are youth who need someone to stand beside them, speak up for their needs, and help them navigate the foster care system. Funding for CASA means funding hope, advocacy, and brighter futures. Please consider contacting Governor Newsom to support continued CASA funding. 💙

Thank you to Speaker Robert Rivas, Senator Monique Limón, Budget Chairs Senator John Laird and Assemblymember Jesse Gabriel, and our budget champions, Subcommittee Chairs Senator Laura Richardson and Assemblymember Dr. Dawn Addis Ramos, Assemblymember Mia Bonta and Senator Tom Umberg, for seeing the impact that CASA volunteers make. Because of you, we are one step closer to ensuring that every child in foster care and juvenile justice across California has the transformative support of a CASA volunteer.

The revised state budget now includes $20 million for CASA programs, but we haven't crossed the finish line yet. The budget now goes to Governor Gavin Newsom for his consideration. You can reach out to Governor Newsom today and urge him to keep CASA funding in our state budget at www.gov.ca.gov/contact (use the "Legislation Issues/Concerns" topic area) or 916-445-2841.

The goal of foster care is to safely reunify children with their families in an environment where they can feel supported, continue healing, and thrive 🌱

During National Reunification Month, we honor and celebrate the families, advocates, and communities dedicated to helping children and families reconnect, heal, and build lasting stability together.

CASA Volunteer Dan reflects on his journey as a male CASA volunteer and why he chose to advocate for youth in foster care.

"Young men need mentors; they need positive male role models in their lives" who will show up, believe in them, and help guide their future.

California Volunteers is calling on men across the state to lead through service. The California Men’s Service Challenge is a statewide effort to mobilize 10,000 men as mentors, coaches and volunteers — helping build purpose, belonging and opportunity.
