CASA of Santa Barbara County is a nonprofit organization that supports abused and neglected children by providing trained court-appointed advocates who work within the juvenile court system to ensure the child’s best interests are represented. The service aims to prevent children from getting lost in the Juvenile Dependency system and to help them reach safe, permanent, nurturing homes as quickly as possible. Advocates meet weekly with a child, collect information from relevant parties, identify unmet needs, prepare court reports, attend hearings, and monitor each case until a permanent placement is achieved. Based in Santa Maria, California, the organization serves the broader Santa Barbara County area and operates within the nonprofit sector, relying on a network of volunteers to fulfill its mission. A recent development noted in local news involves CASA’s ongoing collaboration with court systems and stakeholders to assemble comprehensive reports for judicial consideration to inform decisions affecting the child’s outcomes.
