CASA of Orange County's mission is to provide a powerful voice and a meaningful connection for children who have experienced abuse, neglect, and abandonment. CASA of orange County is a member of the National Court Appointed Special Advocates and Guardian Ad Litem Association for Children. CASA OC is a privately-funded non-profit organization that serves severely abused, neglectd, and abandoned children through the recruitment, training, and continued support of volunteers–CASAs–who advocate for and mentor these children. From the courtroom to the classroom, CASAs represent the best interests of the children they serve. CASA OC serves over 1,000 children each year who move through the Orange County child welfare system as a result of abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers commit to a minimum of two years with a youth in the child welfare system. Each volunteer undergoes extensive training to learn how to best connect with their youth. CASAs will often assist their youth in navigating the complex child welfare system while balancing school and home life.
