CASA of Santa Cruz County is a nonprofit organization that recruits and trains volunteers to advocate for children in foster care. Appointed by judges, these volunteers focus on the child's safety and well-being and work under the guidance of a supervising staff member. They typically commit 2 to 4 hours each week to learn about the child and collect information from everyone involved in the case, and they stay with the case until the child reaches a safe, permanent home. Based in Watsonville, California, the organization serves Santa Cruz County and coordinates advocacy to influence decisions about children's care and placement. In April 2025, Assemblymember Gail Pellerin joined CASA of Santa Cruz County ahead of Child Abuse Prevention Month.
