Mission Statement

CASA/GAL VOLUNTEERS ARE APPOINTED BY JUDGES TO ADVOCATE FOR CHILDRENS BEST INTERESTS. THEY STAY WITH EACH CASE UNTIL IT IS CLOSED AND THE CHILD IS IN A SAFE, PERMANENT HOME. WE SERVE CHILDREN FROM BIRTH THROUGH THE AGE DEFINED BY STATE STATUTE AS THE LIMIT TO YOUTH REMAINING IN CARE. OUR BEST-INTEREST ADVOCACY IS DRIVEN BY THE GUIDING PRINCIPLE THAT CHILDREN GROW AND DEVELOP BEST WITH THEIR FAMILY OF ORIGIN, IF THAT CAN BE SAFELY ACHIEVED. MOST OF THE CHILDREN WE WORK WITH ARE IN FOSTER CARE, BUT SOME ARE WITH THEIR FAMILY OF ORIGIN. AND, MOST CHILDREN WHO LEAVE FOSTER CARE DO SO TO RETURN TO THEIR FAMILY.
