Be there for your community

Why your help matters.

On any given day, nearly 437,000 children and youth are in foster care in the U.S. — including more than 600 in San Francisco. Many have experienced abuse or neglect, leading to lasting trauma like PTSD, nightmares, and deep distrust. Without consistent support, these challenges can intensify. That’s why CASA volunteers step in, providing a steady, caring adult who shows up — making a real difference for them in court and in life.

We love foster children. No exceptions.

Since 1991, SFCASA has provided crucial support and advocacy to children and youth who have experienced abuse and trauma in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. 

When you become a CASA volunteer (Court Appointed Special Advocate), you become a trained, one-on-one advocate and mentor.
