About This Cause
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Middlesex County is a non-profit organization established in 2006, that is dedicated to advocate for children who have been abused or neglected and are living in out-of-home placements. To accomplish this mission, CASA of Middlesex County recruits and trains volunteers to advise the courts and to advocate for the children’s best interests. Last year in Middlesex County about 300 children spent time in foster care. CASA of Middlesex County was able to provide advocacy for 190 of these children as a result of the work of 106 volunteer advocates. Our overarching goal is to increase the number of children served, moving us closer to our aim of providing a CASA advocate for every child who needs one. CASA volunteers act as the “eyes and ears” of the family court system, providing critical information to help judges make the best decisions for children who have been removed from their biological families due to abuse or neglect. CASA volunteers spend time with the child, and communicate with people involved in the child’s life, including teachers, doctors, family members, and caregivers. CASA volunteers make recommendations to the family court to ensure the best decisions are made on behalf of the child with regard to living arrangements, needed services, education and other critical factors in a child’s life. CASA of Middlesex County acts as beacon of hope and support for our most vulnerable children in foster care. Through the hard work of our volunteers and the support of our community, we are changing a child’s story every single day.
