The heart of CASA of Tulare County is a group of over
100 volunteer advocates who give a voice to the abused, neglected and
abandoned children of Tulare
County. After a
comprehensive training program they become sworn officers of the court
and are assigned to a case. They get to know their child through weekly
visits, and researching every aspect of the child’s world. They
then present this essential information to the court, helping to ensure
that the decisions that are made truly are in the best interest of the
child.
Each CASA volunteer is trained and supported every
step of the way by the dedicated staff of CASA of Tulare County. We are
very fortunate to have a wonderful Board of Directors who come from diverse backgrounds. They bring to CASA a
wealth of experience and tremendous dedication.
CASA of Tulare County is a local 501c3 non-profit
organization. Our major funders are First 5
of Tulare County, United
Way of Tulare County,
Judicial Council of California, Children’s Trust Fund of Tulare
County and Promoting Safe and Stable Families. Over 50% of our
financial support comes from generous individuals and local businesses.
We could not continue to do this important work without our supporters.

"To give a child a CASA is to give
them a voice.
To give them a voice is to
give them hope.
And to give them hope is to
give them the world."
—Pamela Butler, former foster youth
