About Us
Mission: 

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) provide consistency and support for children in the Marin County Juvenile Court System who have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Without compromise, CASAs speak up for the best interests of their children in the courtroom and the Child Welfare System to ensure that they are safe and their needs are being met.

Programs: 

Our goal is to see every child thrive in a safe, permanent and supportive home. As sworn officers of the court, our volunteer advocates are responsible for making recommendations for the safety, permanence and well-being of every Marin CASA child. By building a consistent and supportive relationship with each child, Marin CASA makes a difference one child at a time.

When a child has an advocate, s/he is more likely to get needed services — and a permanent, stable home.

Why Work For Us?: 

We believe that every child deserves to be safe and treated with respect and dignity; every child has a right to a loving home where they can grow and learn; and every child should have the opportunity to become a successful, contributing member of our community.
