CASA for Children of Multnomah, Washington, Columbia, and Tillamook Counties

Mission

CASA for Children strives to improve outcomes for children in foster care by recruiting, training, and supporting community volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. 

Bottom Line

For 40 years, CASA for Children has ensured that children navigating Oregon’s foster care system do not have to stand alone. As the state's largest Court Appointed Special Advocate organization, our service area is home to more than one-quarter of Oregon's foster youth. Every year, our agency recruits, trains, and empowers over 400 dedicated volunteers to advocate for the best interests and unique needs of more than 800 children. Wrapping up our landmark 40th anniversary in 2026 is a powerful testament to four decades of community-driven hope, resilience, and unwavering commitment to youth in need.
