National Foster Care Month

May is National Foster Care Month. As President Obama declared, "National Foster Care Month is a time to reflect on the many ways government, social workers, foster families, religious institutions, and others are helping improve the lives of children in foster care, and it also serves as a reminder that we cannot rest until every child has a safe, loving, and permanent home."

The work of CASA volunteers is crucial to ensuring that children live in safe, permanent environments where they can thrive. Studies have shown remarkably that children who have a CASA Volunteer spend on avg. 8 months less in care then a child that doesn't have a CASA assigned to their case. Additionally these studies indicate that the child and their family receives more needed services and the child is less likely to reenter the foster care system. See additional findings about the effectiveness of CASA volunteer advocacy.
