How to Start a Program


CASA is a true grassroots movement. From the start, CASA has depended on ordinary, caring and dedicated individuals to recognize that their community’s children need a voice and an advocate.

New CASA programs begin when people like you notice and respond to an unmet need. Whether you’re a foster parent who encounters a bureaucratic nightmare while trying to adopt, or a professional who notices that children need help, the need for a trained citizen advocate can be all too apparent.

CalCASA provides start-up help for budding CASA programs. We can help with advice and technical assistance on topics ranging from fundraising to volunteer recruitment.

Once you’ve seen that children need help it is impossible to ignore. Once you’re ready to move forward we’ll help get things underway. Give us a call and we can help. Contact us today for more information.
