CASA of Baltimore is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting abused and neglected children in Baltimore City. When children enter the foster care or juvenile court system, it can be a confusing and difficult time. CASA steps in to provide a reliable, caring adult who acts as their voice in court and beyond.

CASA recruits, trains, and supervises volunteers who are appointed by the Baltimore City Juvenile Court to represent individual children. These advocates build trusting relationships with the children and work closely with families, social workers, schools, doctors, and judges. Their role is to monitor the child’s safety, well-being, and progress, and to provide objective, thorough written reports and recommendations to the court. This helps judges make decisions that are truly in the best interest of the child.

CASA advocates serve as a steady, consistent presence during a time when a child’s life may feel uncertain. They help ensure that children’s needs are met—whether that’s access to education, medical care, or stable housing—and that their voices are heard throughout the legal process.
