CASA for Kids of East Texas is a nonprofit organization operating in Tyler, Texas, that recruits, trains, and supports community volunteers who advocate for children in foster care who have experienced abuse or neglect. The organization aims to ensure every foster child has a voice, a protector, and the opportunity for a brighter future by providing safety, stability, and support through volunteer advocacy. Serving Smith, Wood, and Van Zandt Counties, it is part of the broader network of CASA associations at both the state and national levels and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Based in East Texas, the group supports its mission through a structured volunteer model and engages with the community to assist vulnerable children in the foster system. A recent collaboration noted in July 2023 involved a local media outlet and a partnership with a city animal services program to collect school supplies for foster children.
