Mission Statement:
Court Appointed Special Advocates of Atlantic & Cape May Counties, Inc. and its trained volunteers speak on behalf of abused and neglected children in the foster care system and are dedicated to ensuring these children are placed in safe permanent homes as quickly as possible.
Program History:
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Atlantic and Cape May Counties, Inc. was founded in 1995 by a foster care mother after grieving the death of a foster child who once resided in her home. Her mission was to work to prevent "even one more child from falling through the cracks of our child welfare proceedings." The program operated on a small scale it its early years of existence.
In July of 2001, after receiving a grant from the National CASA Association, CASA revitalized its board, hired staff and increased its overall operating capacity. Today, CASA serves over 290 children. Our goal is to continue training volunteers until we can provide a volunteer advocate for every child living within the foster care system.
