Voices for Children was founded in 1980. Their mission is to transform the lives of abused, abandoned, or neglected children by providing them with trained, volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs).  Voices for Children actively monitors and reviews the cases of all children in the county’s foster care system and provides a CASA to every child who needs one.
