“A passionate and powerful voice, CASA El Dorado's trained and court-appointed voluteers advocate on behalf of abused children and at-risk youth. Together with our community's involvement and generous support, we will positively impact the lives of our children.”

“The staff of CASA El Dorado recruits, screens, trains and supports volunteer advocates who become officers of the court to represent the rights of children in the child welfare system. Our advocates go through 30 hours of training and are sworn-in as officers of the court. They are tasked with spending time with the child in a mentoring role and become engaged with other people and institutions that are relevant in determining what is best for that child. Ultimately they deliver reporst to the judge that help the court formulate decisions regarding appropriate services that will help that child, as well as the best placement options. Srudies have shown that when CASA advocates are present there are better outcomes relative to: reduction of long term foster care, the likelihood of returning to foster care once exited from the system and the number of services made available to these children. CASA El Dorado typically serves close to 250-300 children each year which is more than double the median state average; at a cost per child that is half the State average. CASA El Dorado is able to do this with a small staff of only nine, because we leveraged over 146 volunteers during out fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 who invested over hours of their time in services to these children.”
