Thank You Dee Hartzog For Being Our Meeting Sponsor! Dee donated her time to CASA.
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Sacramento County has been advocating for and mentoring local foster youth since 1991. We serve infants through young adults, ages 0-21.
CASA is central to fulfilling society’s most fundamental obligation by making sure a qualified, compassionate adult will fight for and protect a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to learn and grow in the security of a loving family. Unlike any other organization, CASA supports community volunteers in the confidential proceedings of the juvenile court and child welfare systems, while offering the consistency of a long-term relationship.
Studies have consistently shown that a child with a CASA volunteer is more likely to find a safe and permanent home; more likely to be adopted; half as likely to re-enter foster care; and substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care than a child without a CASA volunteer.
CASA programs harness the power of the community to improve outcomes for children and save significant taxpayer dollars by helping reduce the length of a child's stay in foster care.
Together, we lift up children’s voices and their lives.
