About Us

CASA of Clackamas County operates the only program in the county that recruits, trains, and supervises community volunteers who are authorized by the court to advocate for children placed in foster care due to abuse and neglect, and serves more than 350 children a year with 150 highly trained and supported volunteers.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are a special kind of volunteer.

Our volunteers contact caseworkers, interview parents and other family members, ensure children receive necessary medical care, look out for educational interests, and make recommendations in court regarding the permanent placement of the child. Most importantly, they serve as a constant person for that child to count on during a very tumultuous time.

CASA of Clackamas County is on a mission to serve all kids in foster care utilizing local, grassroots fundraising only. This golf tournament is key to helping us provide more than 350 months of advocacy for children in foster care who need the opportunity to thrive.
