Dallas CASA recruits, trains and supervises community volunteers to advocate for abused children in foster care.
About us
Last year, nearly 1,000 child victims were removed from their homes because of abuse or neglect and placed into the protective care of the state. These children need powerful voices to speak for them. Dallas CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a non-profit organization that recruits, trains and supervises volunteers who serve as voices for abused children in court. Judges appoint Dallas CASA volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who have been abused or neglected, helping these children have safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. Dallas CASA exists so that abused and neglected children in protective care have the chance to become successful adults. With the help of caring advocates, the cycle of abuse and neglect can be broken. Dallas CASA has a strong and steady history demonstrating its ability to grow the number of children it serves. In 2020, Dallas CASA served 3,374 children. The program also recruited and trained 472 new volunteer advocates during the year, increasing the number of active CASA volunteer advocates to more than 1,500. Since the inception of CASA advocacy, Dallas volunteers have helped thousands of children find safe, permanent homes. Today, more than 68,000 advocates serve in nearly 1,000 state and local program offices nationwide. Dallas CASA is a charter member of the National Court Appointed Special Advocates Association and of Texas CASA, We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit social service agency governed by a board of directors.

Ten years ago, Kathleen LaValle said goodbye to commercial litigation and hello to improving the lives of children full-time. As a member of the Dallas CASA board of directors Kathleen helped in the search for the next chief executive, only to realize she was the right person for the role. Dallas CASA has been accepting 100% of child welfare cases for 5 years, quite an accomplishment in a county as large as Dallas. We are forever grateful Kathleen took that leap of faith and know that children in foster care are better off with such a strong advocate in their corner. Thank you for an outstanding piece Dallas Regional Chamber / Say Yes to Dallas #dallasnonprofit #volunteerdallas #nonprofitceo
