State of the States: How State CASA Organizations Compare

Document Author: National CASA Association
Posted: 04/08
From the first organized meeting of state CASA/GAL representatives in July 1987, with 9 state organizations in attendance, to today, with 46 state offices, we have seen many changes for state programs across the country.

State programs range from state-funded, state-administered programs to nonprofit organizations that grew from informal networks of CASA program directors. Whatever form individual state organizations may have, each shares many of the same responsibilities.

As our state organizations have matured and grown, so have the successes gained from their work. This compilation of information provides a snapshot of each state, highlighting particular areas of interest. While it is difficult to capture all the unique services of each state organization, the state directors have provided the most frequently requested data along with links useful in advanced searches.

Our network of CASA programs across the US has benefited from the broad range of services provided by the state organizations. Their success in leading the network to serve more children is a direct result of the quality of our state offices and staff.
