CASA

Court Appointed Special Advocates

Denver Court Appointed Special Advocates – or Denver CASA – provides direct support and advocacy for children who’ve survived trauma, loss, abuse and neglect. Since 1995, Denver CASA has partnered with Denver Juvenile Court to provide advocacy and a critical voice for children in court.

The CASA Model

The CASA Model is an effective, relationship driven model with proven success in reducing re-entry across the country. Our best-interest advocacy is driven by the guiding principle that children grow and develop best with their family of origin, if that can be safely achieved.

Children with a CASA Volunteer are less likely to re-enter the foster care system and more likely to be permanently placed in a stable home. Children with a CASA also experience fewer placements than the average child in the foster system.
