Casa Of St. Louis

Our Mission

CASA of St. Louis advocates for children in foster care in St. Louis by representing their best interests in court and in the community. We train and empower community volunteers to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA volunteers) for cases before the family courts in St. Louis City and St. Louis County. Each case involves children in the foster care system who have been removed from their home due to abuse and neglect. Our advocacy helps children who have experienced abuse and neglect heal from trauma, progress in school, participate in childhood activities, and achieve the best possible outcome and a permanent home.
