Board Member @Casa Of San Mateo County
Redwood City, CA, US
A Court Appointed Special Advocates program, CASA of San Mateo County pairs foster children with community volunteers who provide one-on-one support, mentoring, and advocacy in the courtroom and beyond.Foster children end up in the system through no fault of their own. These children have been removed from their homes because they have been abused, neglected or abandoned. Many are taken from their neighborhoods and shuttled between multiple foster homes and different schools in a single year. Left in the care of strangers, many feel frightened and alone.There are hundreds of foster children in San Mateo County who lack positive adult relationships and do not have a consistent, caring adult to help them navigate the complicated child welfare system. Without proper support, these children will not finish high school and are at severe risk of homelessness. CASA volunteers are average community members who offer comfort and hope while giving each foster child a chance at the best possible future. CASA of San Mateo County\'s mission is to ensure that all abused and neglected children under the protection of the court have a consistent, caring adult to help them reach their full potential.
