Every child deserves a champion—someone who will stand by them, fight for them, and help them rise above the challenges they face. For children in foster care, this need is urgent. Many endure the trauma of abuse or neglect, multiple placements, and the uncertainty of separation from their families.
At CASA El Dorado, we believe that no child should face these hardships alone. Our dedicated volunteer Advocates provide stability, compassion, and a powerful voice in the courtroom and beyond. Through our CASA program, Family Coaching, and Family Law support, we work tirelessly to ensure that every child we serve has the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home.
Since 1992, CASA El Dorado has been a champion for over 3,500 children in foster care. But the need continues. Today, 20 children in our community are waiting for someone to step up and be their advocate—their champion.
This Big Day of Giving, you can make a difference. Join us in our mission to ensure that every child has the advocate they deserve, because every child deserves a champion.
Our Vision
A world where every child who has experienced abuse or neglect is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home.
Child Advocates of El Dorado (CASA) provides support, empowerment, and a voice for the abused, neglected and at risk youth in our community.
Funding: to help us continue our service to abused, neglected and at-risk youth in the community.
Community partnerships and sponsorships: Corporate gifts, sponsorships for our annual events Gala and Box Lunch and in-kind donations are essential to our overall event success.
Volunteers (age 21+): We need individuals to become CASA volunteers to help support; foster youth who have been abused or neglected, at-risk youth that find themselves in juvenile court, and family law advocating for the youth whose families are going through difficult times. We currently have 19 children waiting for a Court Appointed Special Advocate of their own.
