Every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment to grow up in. Unfortunately, many children around the nation suffer from neglect and abuse, including our very own communities. But together, we can bring them hope, love and the freedom to thrive!

Introducing the Fourth of July Freedom to Thrive Fundraiser, a campaign dedicated to raising funds and awareness for neglected and abused children in Colorado's 5th Judicial District. This Independence Day, let's unite as a community and make a lasting impact on the lives of these vulnerable children by giving them the freedom to have a voice during legal proceedings.

🇺🇸 Here are ways you can help CASA of the Continental Divide continue providing Court Appointed Special Advocates for children in our community:

1.) Donate: Your generous contributions can make a world of difference in a child's life. Every dollar counts in providing these children with the care, support, and resources they desperately need.

2.) Share and Spread the Word: Social media is a powerful tool! Help us amplify our message by sharing our campaign on your social platforms. Encourage your friends, family, and followers to join the cause and make a difference!

3.) Volunteer: Get involved directly by offering your time and skills to our organization. You can assist in changing the trajectory of a child's life by signing up to be a CASA volunteer today!

❤️ What your support can achieve:

Advocacy: Your donation allows us to continue supervising, training and mentoring our volunteer advocates who elevate children's voices in court.
Programs: CASA of the Continental Divide has two programs designed for the children assigned to our services: Child Advocacy in Dependency and Neglect, and Child Advocacy in Truancy. Your support will help improve and expand our programs, which promote children's physical, educational and emotional well-beings in all aspects of life.
Resources: Help us provide children tools for a brighter future! A donation to CASA of the Continental Divide allows our advocates to connect children and families with resources to access educational tools, translators, counseling, therapy, and medical services when necessary.
Hope: Our mission is to ensure a child's safety, best interest and well-being are at the forefront of legal proceedings. Our vision is to see every child in Colorado's 5th Judicial District thriving. Our hope is to find every child assigned to our programs in a safe and permanent home at the end of their case. Your support helps us empower children and families who need it the most.

Together, let's ignite a spark of hope in the hearts of these children this Fourth of July, and every day. Join us in celebrating not only our freedom, but also their journey towards a brighter future! 🎇

About CASA

The CASA program began in 1977 when a Seattle juvenile court judge concerned about making impactful decisions with insufficient information conceived the idea of citizen volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in court. From that program has grown a national network of nearly 1,000 CASA and guardian ad litem programs in 49 states and the District of Columbia.

Our local program, CASA of the Continental Divide (CASACD)was established by Debby Webster and recognized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit on February 18th, 1999. For 24 years we have been serving child victims of abuse and neglect in Colorado’s 5^th Judicial District, which encompasses Clear Creek, Eagle, Lake, and Summit Counties.

CASACD recruits, trains, supervises, and mentors community volunteers to advocate for the best interests of victims of child abuse, neglect, and severe domestic conflict. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court and in the community. Each assigned volunteer advocate conducts independent investigations, is in direct contact with the child, and gets to know the child so they can represent the child’s best interests. In this way the child has a voice in the court, someone on their side during a difficult time that can drastically affect their wellbeing, safety, and future. The desired result is that children be placed in safe, loving homes where they can thrive.
