Help a child meet their true potential. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) for Children of Los Angeles improves the lives of children in the dependency system by pairing them with trained volunteer advocates. Nowhere in the nation is the problem greater than in Los Angeles County, where 30,000 children who have been abused or neglected are under the jurisdiction of the Dependency Court. CASA alleviates the feelings of abandonment and alienation that scar these young lives by harnessing the compassion and generosity of caring adults who can and do have an enormous impact on the development of the child at all ages.
