Standing for children. Changing futures.
Since 1992, Clatsop CASA Program has been a steady voice of HOPE for children in Clatsop County who are navigating the child welfare system. Each year our CASA volunteers advocate for 90-100 children, ensuring they are seen, heard, and supported during some of the most challenging moments of their lives. CASAs ensure the child's best interest is known.
Clatsop CASA is a nonprofit. We train, recruit, and supervise a group of diverse, well-prepared community volunteers to speak up for the best interests of children in court. Our advocates come from all walks of life, united by a shared commitment to make a meaningful difference. They build trusted relationships, gather crucial information, and help Judges make informed decisions that lead to safer, more stable futures for these children. Clatsop CASA is also committed to raising community awareness and collaboration about the issues of child abuse and neglect.
At Clatsop CASA, we believe every child deserves a champion- and we are committed to being that steadfast presence, one child at a time, one story at a time, year after year.
We currently have a list of children waiting for their own CASA champion today!
