Family Advocates is a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit based in Boise, Idaho, operating within the civic and social organizations sector. Its CASA program seeks to give a voice to children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect, most of whom are under six and cannot advocate for themselves. The program pairs each child with a trained volunteer called a Guardian ad Litem, or GAL, who provides individualized attention to children in foster care. These volunteers serve as the eyes and ears for the child and deliver to the court an impartial view of what is in the child’s best interests. In this role, the GAL represents the child’s needs during foster care proceedings and informs judicial decisions about welfare and placement. The organization operates in Boise with a staff and relies on volunteers to carry out its mission of supporting vulnerable children through court-involved advocacy.
