Friends of CASA is an extended network of concerned citizens that want to help raise awareness of the foster care dilemma in Essex County and of the services CASA offers to abused and neglected children through the Family Court System. 

Becoming a Friend of CASA allows you to support the organization’s work if you aren’t able to volunteer as an Advocate for a child by offering us your unique talents and expertise on projects we need help with. We are looking for people who can work with us in ways that are of interest to them and that will aid the growth of the Essex County CASA program. 

CASA needs friends to host information events about child abuse and neglect, help plan and staff fund-raising events, assist with Public Relations efforts,  provide introductions to their employers (or spouse’s employer) that may be open to a CASA presentation or willing to make a donation, and friends that will network within the community.
