About this organization
Mission
SFCASA's mission is to transform the lives of children and youth traumatized and displaced in the foster care and related systems by providing one consistent, caring volunteer advocate, trained to address each child’s needs in the court and community. SFCASA’s vision is that every child and youth is in a safe and loving home, and has equitable access to the resources, community support, and opportunities they need to thrive.
About
SFCASA empowers community members to support youth during their time in the foster care and juvenile justice systems, as well as after their systems involvement. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), are trained adult volunteers who become court-appointed advocates and mentors. Volunteer advocates help these young people access essential services and provide a consistent adult presence in their lives. SFCASA also supports family preservation in collaboration with the San Francisco Family Treatment Court. SFCASA’s Youth Empowerment Board provides youth perspectives to the organization and directs a peer-to-peer grantmaking program to support the transition to independence with grants covering expenses related to education, career and independent living. Finally, our Foster Youth Tax Project supports young people through age 25 with free tax filing and financial literacy.
