Mission
DALLAS CASA VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES PROTECT CHILDREN, RESTORE CHILDHOOD AND HELP CHILD VICTIMS OF ABUSE AND NEGLECT ACHIEVE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
Program accomplishments
- DALLAS CASA TRAINS AND SUPERVISES VOLUNTEERS WHO ARE APPOINTED BY LOCAL COURTS TO REPRESENT THE BEST INTEREST OF EACH CHILD INVOLVED IN A DALLAS COUNTY CHILD WELFARE CASE. OVER THE LAST SEVEN YEARS THAT DALLAS CASA HAS BEEN ABLE TO ACCEPT ALL COURT APPOINTMENTS TO DALLAS COUNTY CHILD WELFARE CASES, THE AGENCY SERVED MORE THAN 8,700 CHILDREN WITH 3,200 VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES. DALLAS CASA SERVES MORE CHILDREN WITH VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES THAN ANY OF THE MORE THAN 900 INDEPENDENT CASA PROGRAMS NATIONWIDE. FOR CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE, THEIR DALLAS CASA VOLUNTEER ADVOCATE IS A LIFELINE, PROVIDING A CONSTANT IN A YOUNG LIFE THAT HAS BEEN DISRUPTED BY TRAUMA, CHANGE AND UNCERTAINTY. DALLAS CASA VOLUNTEER ADVOCATES MODEL FOR CHILDREN HOW A RELIABLE, TRUSTWORTHY ADULT ACTS, HOPEFULLY IMPROVING THE CHANCES (CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)THAT THE CYCLE OF ABUSE WILL BE BROKEN AND THAT EACH CHILD CAN REACH THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. AMONG THE MANY RISKS OF FOSTER CARE IS THE POSSIBILITY A CHILD GIVES UP ON THEMSELVES. DALLAS CASA VOLUNTEERS REDUCE THAT RISK BY SEEING THE PROMISE OF A BETTER FUTURE FOR EACH CHILD, RATHER THAN THE SUM OF THEIR UNFORTUNATE CIRCUMSTANCES. DALLAS CASA STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS BELIEVE THAT NO CHILD SHOULD BE LIMITED OR DEFINED BY THEIR TIME IN FOSTER CARE.Expenses $11,440,766 · grants $2,500,000
