CASA is central to fulfilling society’s most fundamental obligation by protecting a child’s right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect and to learn and grow in the safe embrace of a loving family. CASA of Central Oregon is a nonprofit organization that recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the court system. CASA volunteers work within the courts in collaboration with key agencies, legal counsel and community resources to ensure that every child in foster care in Central Oregon can transition into a safe and permanent home.
