Mission
OUR MISSION IS TO MOBILIZE COMMUNITY VOLUNTEERS TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDREN WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED ABUSE AND NEGLECT. OUR VISION IS A LOS ANGELES WHERE EVERY CHILD IN THE WELFARE SYSTEM HAS AN ADVOCATE AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO THRIVE.
Program accomplishments
- CASA OF LOS ANGELES SEEKS TO REDUCE AND REVERSE THE EFFECTS OF CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT, WITH ULTIMATE GOALS OF SAFETY, PERMANENCY, AND WELL-BEING FOR CHILDREN IN THE FOSTER CARE AND JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEMS. THIS YEAR WE HAD 760 VOLUNTEER COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES (CASAS) AND 920 TOTAL CHILDREN SERVED. CASAS SERVED 777 OF THOSE CHILDREN THROUGH ONE-ON-ONE ADVOCACY BY LEARNING ABOUT THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIVING SITUATIONS, IDENTIFYING NEEDS, AND PROVIDING RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE COURT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE CHILD. CASA VOLUNTEERS ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF CHILDREN TO FIND SAFE, PERMANENT HOMES, ENCOURAGE FAMILY VISITATION, AND SUPPORT CHILDREN'S MEDICAL, MENTAL HEALTH, AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. CASAS SERVED 116 UNIQUE CHILDREN THROUGH THE ESSENTIAL HISTORY PROGRAM, IN WHICH VOLUNTEERS COMPLETE A DETAILED REVIEW OF A CHILD'S FILE AND WRITE A REPORT OUTLINING THE CHILD'S DEVELOPMENTAL, MEDICAL, AND MENTAL HEALTH HISTORY TO ENSURE CRITICAL DETAILS ARE NOT OVERLOOKED BY THE VARIOUS STAKEHOLDERS IN THE CHILD'S CASE. THIS PROGRAM AIMS TO HELP SOCIAL WORKERS, ATTORNEYS AND JUDGES MAKE TRAUMA-INFORMED DECISIONS ABOUT THE YOUNG PEOPLE THEY SERVE BY PROVIDING THEM WITH A SUMMARY OF THE YOUNG PERSON'S EXPERIENCES AND HISTORY IN CRITICAL AREAS OF LIFE. ADDITIONALLY, THROUGH OUR SPECIALIZED PROGRAMS, OUR STAFF WERE ABLE TO DIRECTLY SUPPORT 129 YOUTH THROUGH OUR EXPECTANT & PARENTING YOUTH PROGRAM, 97 TRANSITIONAL AGED-YOUTH THROUGH OUR PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAM, AND 89 YOUTH THROUGH OUR YOUTH JUSTICE PROGRAM.Expenses $6,272,883 · grants $139,908
