Who We Are
CASA Sacramento is a community-based 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to recruiting, training and supporting Court Appointed Special Advocates who serve Sacramento County’s foster children.
Founded in 1991, through major support of the Junior League of Sacramento and the Superior Court of California, Sacramento County, CASA Sacramento has sworn in over 1,985 volunteers who have served over 4,729 foster youth.
The CASA Sacramento Mission
Ensuring consistency and support for children in the foster care and juvenile justice systems through the use of volunteer advocates advancing the best interests of each child.
The CASA Sacramento Vision
Every child in need is appointed a CASA to champion them in Court, without compromise, on the path to a safe and permanent home.
CASAs play a unique role in their CASA youths’ lives, serving both as a mentor to the youth and as a best interest advocate before the Court.
Our volunteers help foster children by advocating for safe and permanent homes, identifying and addressing urgent needs, and developing permanent connections within communities to ensure that support will continue even after a youth has left foster care.
Today, there are over 1,100 children in care in Sacramento County. We are committed to providing one-on-one volunteer advocacy and mentorship for every foster youth in Sacramento County who needs it. In the 2024-25 fiscal year, we served 260 youth.
These youth face huge odds stacked against them. From mental health issues and emotional disturbance caused by trauma to educational challenges that keep more than half of California’s foster children from graduating high school, from insufficient placements to high rates of unemployment and homelessness after leaving care, it can seem nearly impossible for foster children to find their place.
A CASA helps fight against the odds, increasing the chances for a child in foster care to lead a healthy, happy life in a safe and permanent home.
