CASA DC is a volunteer-driven nonprofit that advocates in court for foster youth in the District of Columbia, many of whom have experienced neglect or abuse. Community volunteers are recruited, screened, trained, and supported by CASA DC’s professional staff to provide representation and advocacy throughout court processes. Incorporated in 2002 and based in Washington, DC, the organization is a certified affiliate of the National CASA Association and pursues its mission through programs and supported volunteers that aim to improve outcomes for youth involved with the juvenile and child welfare systems. A noted development in its recent activity is the launch of the BRIDGES Program in June 2019, which formalizes collaboration with DC youth entering the juvenile justice system." } Utterly neutral, factual, and drawn solely from the provided information. } } {
