A Message From The Director
Thank you for your interest in Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA)/Prince George’s County. There are over 500 children in foster care in Prince George’s County due to the abuse or neglect they have experienced. Each one of them needs someone like you to advocate for their best interests, ensure they receive the services they need and to be a caring, stable presence in their lives. You can help a child find a safe, permanent home or help an older youth gain the life skills they need to transition out of foster care into adulthood. You can change a child’s story. Contact us today to learn how.
What Is CASA Of Prince George's County, Inc.?
CASA/Prince George’s County, Inc. was founded in 1992 through a collaborative effort of stakeholders to address the unmet needs of children in foster care. In 2000, CASA was reorganized by an independent Board of Directors comprised of community, civic and business leaders. Since 2001, the staff and volunteers at CASA have worked tirelessly to not only protect the best interests of the children we serve but also to ensure the rights of all children in foster care.
What Is The Need?
Over 500 children are in foster care in Prince George’s County due to abuse or neglect.
CASA provided a voice to over 140 children and youth last year.
Only 10% of our volunteers are men. Many boys and young men in foster care lack a positive male role model in their lives.
86% of the youth we serve are 14-20 years old and need additional support to prepare for adulthood.
