Children and youth assigned a CASA/GAL volunteer reported significantly higher levels of hope. Your support helps us strengthen our national network and recruit more volunteers. This holiday season, help us bring hope to more children, youth and families.
Court Appointed Special Advocate® (CASA) and guardian ad litem (GAL) volunteers are appointed by judges to advocate for children’s best interests. This best-interest advocacy makes a life-changing difference for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect, many of whom are in foster care.
The National CASA/GAL Association for Children supports a network of 939 state CASA/GAL organizations and local CASA/GAL programs operating in 49 states and the District of Columbia.
Youth with a CASA or GAL volunteer often share that having a caring adult advocate for their best interests makes a lasting difference.
