CASA for Children of Essex County is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the welfare of children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect, or abandonment. They provide a safety net of support, advocacy, and mentorship to these children, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to thrive by receiving the necessary services and assistance. CASA trains and supervises volunteers who speak up for the best interests of these children in court, at school, and in the community, working towards the goal of placing them in a safe and permanent home as quickly as possible.
With a focus on children in foster care, CASA for Children of Essex County serves nearly 500 children each year, ranging in age from birth to 21 years old. These children come from families living at or below the federal poverty line and have been removed from their homes due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect. CASA believes that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive and works tirelessly to ensure that they are placed in a safe and permanent home, providing dedicated volunteer advocates who prioritize their needs in an overburdened child welfare system.
