Dedicated to positive
outcomes for children

Our staff is committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of children who need help.

Meet our Bergen CASA Team

CASA for Children of Bergen County has a full-time executive director and administrative assistant who run our day-to-day operations, and three case supervisors who oversee the volunteer advocates. These dedicated individuals are on call 24/7, as we are dealing with children and their lives. Because much of the work involves confidentiality, we ensure that everything we do is carefully documented for State and National CASA and the State of New Jersey.
