Since 2006, Court Appointed Special
Advocates (CASA) of Ocean County, an independent
non-profit, has served as a voice in the
courtroom for abused and neglected foster
children. We recruit and train concerned
citizens to serve as a CASA volunteer. By
meeting with the child’s family members,
doctors, teachers, and foster parents, the CASA
volunteer ensures that the judge in the family
court system is aware of all the facts to make
the best determination for the child's future.
CASA works with children, who have been victims
of:br>
- Physical Abuse
- Emotional Abuse
- Sexual Abuse
- Extreme Poverty
A child is abused every hour in New Jersey, and
in Ocean County, more than
711 children have been
removed from their homes due to abuse and
neglect.
If you are interested in becoming a CASA
advocate, please contact the office at:

We
dedicate this section of our website to our
wonderful supporters.
