CASA of Southwest Missouri: 35 Years of Changing Lives

As we celebrate CASA of Southwest Missouri’s 35th anniversary, we’re reminded of the thousands of lives we’ve touched over the years—thanks to your support. But our work is far from over. Hundreds of children in our community are still waiting for the security and advocacy that a CASA volunteer provides.

A Legacy of Advocacy

In the past 35 years, we've served over 9,900 children, providing them with the consistent support they need.

While we are proud of what we’ve accomplished, we know that hundreds of children are still waiting for a CASA volunteer.

Our Impact

In just one year, CASA of Southwest Missouri’s Clubhouse has already made a profound impact. We’ve served over 2,000 children in our new space, providing a safe, supportive environment for children and families.

Children and youth assigned a CASA volunteer reported high levels of hope. A child’s hope has been linked to numerous positive outcomes such as academic success, overall wellbeing, increases in self-control, positive social relationships, and optimism. You can bring this hope to a child this holiday season.

How You Can Help

As we close out 2024, we’re launching an end-of-year fundraising campaign to help us meet the growing need for advocacy, training, and resources. Your donation will directly support the training of new CASA volunteers, the expansion of our programs like the Clubhouse, and the continued work of providing crucial advocacy for children in foster care.

This year, we’re asking for your support as we work to reach a goal of $80,000 by December 31st. These funds will help us ensure that children in our community get the care and advocacy they deserve.

Will you help us reach our goal?

There may be tax credits available for you or your businesses donation. Read below or contact us for more information on how to maximize your impact.
