37th Judicial CASA

Agency Overview

A CASA FOR EVERY CHILD

We believe every child in foster care deserves to have an advocate to depend on, no matter how remote or far-removed that child's foster placement may be. For over 20 years we have been training volunteer advocates to represent the best interests of foster children in family court. Though our volunteer numbers have grown, so has the number of children in state care for Carter, Howell, Oregon and Shannon Counties.  Our program still only serves a third of the roughly 300 children in foster care within our court circuit.

From 2017 to present, we successfully doubled our highly trained volunteer force with the help of community support, business sponsorships, private and public grant funding, and resources provided by Missouri CASA Association and National CASA Association, the two member organizations which oversee our operations.

To meet the needs of child victims of abuse and neglect in our rural community, we must double again.  With your support we can recruit, train, and support volunteers to advocate for these child victims of neglect and abuse.

Help us reach our goal with a gift sustaining advocacy services to foster children in the 37th Judicial Circuit.  Your kindness will be felt by a growing number of children benefitting from caring, consistent volunteer relationships and court advocacy.
