Stand up for an abused child.®

Be the difference. Every year in Colorado, more than 50,000 reports of child abuse and neglect are filed, and more than 11,000 children enter foster care.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties serves the 1st Judicial District, which consistently ranks in the top five in Colorado for the number of abuse and neglect cases.

Appointed by judges, our highly trained volunteers serve as independent investigators and advocates for abused and neglected children in Jefferson and Gilpin counties.

Our volunteers make a difference. Children with a CASA volunteer are half as likely to spend time in long-term foster care. Cases with a CASA volunteer are more likely to be permanently closed.

Anyone can be a part of CASA. Whether you donate your time, services or dollars, you can be a powerful voice in the life of a child.
