Become a Volunteer Advocate
CASA of the Continental Divide's Mission:
To Strengthen families and communities through trauma-informed advocacy, support and services.
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocates. We listen to the voices of the children who experience abuse and neglect and stand up for their rights. We visit the children, get to know them and advocate for their needs to be met in an overburdened child welfare system.
A CASA can be a mentor and friend and provide stability to a child in need. A CASA fights for children and protects them from harm. CASA of the Continental Divide is the sole organization in the 5th Judicial District that speaks up for children who experience abuse and neglect. We are the voice for those who have no voice. The children that we serve are your children and our children. They are from your county and your towns, and they need us – and you!
