Maryland CASA | Ensuring All Abused and Neglected Children their Right to a Safe, Permanent Home!

Why Volunteer?

Children with a CASA volunteer are twice as likely to find a safe and permanent home. CASA volunteers are the answer for abused and neglected children.

Today, 88% of the children under Court protection do not have the benefit of a CASA volunteer. Help us give a voice to every abused and neglected child. Maryland CASA depends on donors like you to continue our work on behalf of Maryland's children.

Become A CASA Volunteer

The CASA volunteer is an advocate who is 21 years and older. The primary responsibility is to serve as the "eyes and ears" of the court, gathering information from the child, his/her biological parents, foster parents, teachers, counselors, etc. and making recommendations to the judge as to what is in the child's best interest.

What is Maryland CASA?

Maryland CASA Association is the state organization for Maryland’s Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Programs. In partnership with our fifteen affiliated CASA programs, we work to ensure every victim of child abuse and neglect their right to grow up in safe and permanent homes. This mission is carried out through the efforts of professionally-trained volunteers, appointed by the court to speak up for the best interests of children who are under the protection of the courts.

We hope you will join us on this mission! Whether you choose to become an advocate for a child, help with fundraising or public awareness activities, or make a financial investment in our work, we can always use your support!
