What is CASA?
The mission of the Yamhill County CASA Program (YC CASA) is to speak up for the best interests of abused and neglected children under the jurisdiction of the court. Our program, founded in 1995, recruits, screens, trains, and supports volunteers who are appointed by a judge as Court Appointed Special Advocate volunteers (CASAs) for children in dependency cases. CASAs strive to reduce the length of time children spend in foster care while also keeping children’s best interests at the core of all case decisions.

Brighter Futures and Stronger Communities
Children who have experienced abuse or neglect fare better with a CASA volunteer by their side. Studies have shown:
They are more likely
to find a safe, permanent home
They are more likely
to succeed in
school
They are half as likely
to re-enter the foster care system
"History will judge us by the difference we make in the everyday lives of children."
