The National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association is proud to be
a leader in creating and supporting the best possible child-focused
advocacy.
We pledge to:
Hold ourselves accountable through adherence to standards and
annual reporting to provide measurable and child-focused advocacy.
Represent children’s voices to the court and advocate for their
best interests.
Partner with communities to find safe, permanent and nurturing
homes for the children we serve.
Promote a diverse CASA/GAL network of board, staff and volunteers.
Our Vision
The National Court Appointed Special
Advocate Association “stands up” for abused and neglected children.
Building on our legacy of quality advocacy,
we acknowledge the need to understand, respect and celebrate diversity
including race, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity, sexual
orientation and the presence of a sensory, mental or physical
disability. We also value diversity of viewpoints, life experiences,
talents and ideas regardless of a person’s socioeconomic status.
A diverse CASA/GAL program network helps us
to better understand and promote the well-being of the children we
serve. Embracing diversity makes us better advocates by providing fresh
ideas and perspectives for problem-solving in our multicultural world,
enabling us to respond to each child’s unique needs.
