Overview of CASA

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) provide individual advocacy for children in foster care who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Our goal is to help ensure that children receive all the services they need and to recommend to the court the best outcome for each child—a safe, loving, permanent home.

There are nearly 600 children in foster care in Baltimore County each year. CASA of Baltimore County currently serves about one third of those children. We want to do more! And, with continued and increased financial assistance and volunteers, we will!

A Message From the Director

CASA Volunteer Advocates help ensure that abused and neglected children reach safe, permanent, and loving homes and that they receive every needed service while in foster care. These everyday heroes make a critical difference in the lives of hundreds of Baltimore County’s most vulnerable children. Despite that success, CASA of Baltimore County is currently only serving approximately one-third of the children in foster care in Baltimore County. Contact us to learn more about the ways in which you can support CASA’s goal of providing an advocate for every child in foster care.
