Voices for Children/CASA of St. Louis

ADVOCATE! More than 1,700 of St. Louis' children are in foster care because they have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. In many cases these children become victims a second time — in an overburdened child welfare system that cannot pay close attention to each child whose life is in its hands. Our CASA volunteers gets to know each child and then lets the judge and others in the child welfare system know the child’s perspective and the child’s needs.
