About this organization
Mission
CASA/Youth Advocates was founded in 1992 by Delaware County,PA leaders who recognized the dangers of children languishing in foster care and spending critical years being bounced around from placement to placement without ever really having a place to call "home." Our volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) are trained and supervised by our professional staff to advocate on behalf of such children. Our primary goal is to facilitate vulnerable children's placement in safe permanent homes where they can reach their full potential. We expanded to Chester County in 2015.
