CASA/Prince George’s County, Inc. an independent 501(c) 3 organization, was founded in 1992 through a collaborative effort of stakeholders, which included board members from the Juvenile Court, the Department of Social Services and Legal Aid, Inc, to address the unmet needs of children in foster care. These same stakeholders continue to serve as advisers and collaborators. In 2000, CASA was reorganized by an independent Board of Directors comprised of community, civic and business leaders. With a strong commitment to diversity, CASA trains and supervises volunteers from the community who advocate for the best interest of children, recognizing and respecting each child’s individual needs.By providing a voice to children in the foster care system, it is our goal to promote the timely placement of the children we serve into safe, permanent homes. Since 2001, the staff and volunteers at CASA have worked tirelessly to not only protect the best interests of the children we serve but also to ensure the rights of all children in foster care.
