About Us

CASA of Kern County's goal is to protect and insure each foster child's right to a safe and permanent home. These children have come into the juvenile dependency court system as the victims of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment. Their caretakers have been unable to keep them safe, and subsequently, social services and the legal systems have entered their lives.

Because of our unique one on one advocacy, CASA Volunteers can provide information to the court that is not usually available. Due to the large number of cases filed in juvenile court each year, along with dwindling resources available to investigate cases, the judges often make decisions based on less than objective data. The CASA Volunteer's objective, unbiased recommendation to support the best interests of the child, is an invaluable asset to the judge.
