There are many reasons why people might look for a non-profit organization near them. Some people may be interested in volunteering their time to help others, while others may be seeking assistance with a personal or community issue. Non-profit organizations often provide valuable services such as food pantries, homeless shelters, educational programs, and job training. By supporting a local non-profit, individuals can make a positive impact on their community and help to create a more just and equitable society. 

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of Bergen County is a non-profit organization that supports and promotes court-appointed volunteer advocacy for children in the foster system. As part of a CASA’s work to secure the services and assistance these vulnerable children need, we train and supervise volunteers who are called to advocate for their best interests. 

CASA Advocate volunteers work one-on-one with children in foster care, giving them a voice by advocating for their best interests. By collaborating with professionals from different fields, CASA volunteers ensure judges have the facts they need to make informed decisions. If you are interested in helping to change a child’s story for the better, we would like to hear from you.
