CASA volunteers appointed to a case can provide more consistency to a child. Research shows that having a stable relationship with a supportive adult can help children who have experienced trauma do well, even when they have faced significant hardships.

A child in foster care with a committed CASA volunteer is:

Half as likely to re-enter the foster care system
More likely to succeed in school
More likely to find a safe, permanent home
Less likely to enter the juvenile justice system
Less likely to have multiple foster placements
More likely to access services that promote healing

With more than 130 children experiencing foster care in Carroll County, the need for more CASA volunteers is significant. Too many children in the child welfare system lose their families, their rights, and their hope. With support from caring community members like you, we can ensure that every child who has experienced abuse or neglect has an advocate fighting for them.

Carroll County CASA would not exist without our volunteers and the community's support. You can be the reason a child: has a voice, has an advocate willing to listen and stand up for their well-being, or receives a new pair of shoes when they enter foster care. You can be the reason an individual in our community decides to commit to being an advocate for abused and neglected children.

Will you support our vision of a community where every abused or neglected child is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home? Will you become a Friend of CASA today?
