At CASA of Adams & Broomfield Counties, our vision is a community that values and strengthens children and families from all backgrounds and life experiences, providing opportunities to thrive and build successful lives.
Our work relies on caring, committed individuals from the community who want to make a positive, life-changing impact by advocating for children and youth. Our volunteers work closely with the child(ren) they are assigned to, ensuring that their voices are heard. Through their advocacy and support, they make a measurable impact on the trajectory of each child’s life.
We believe that every child deserves a safe and supportive environment to thrive. By making a donation to CASA, you are not just contributing to a cause—you are changing lives. Each dollar you give helps build a stronger, more resilient community.
Dependency & Neglect - CASA Dependency & Neglect Volunteers advocate for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. They ensure the child’s physical, mental, educational, and emotional needs are being met and that they have the opportunity to thrive in a safe and permanent home.
Truancy - CASA Truancy Volunteers advocate for the educational interests of a child or youth. They work to identify barriers to school attendance, access community resources, and improve the student’s attendance and academic success.
Family Engagement - Family Engagement Advocates work outside of the court system with children who are chronically absent from school and are at-risk due to socio-economic factors, lack of resources and supports, or other hardship. They visit regularly with children and problem-solve with families to overcome barriers.
"Being a CASA has made me feel like a better person. I can count the number of lives I have personally impacted and visibly see the difference that it has made. This program gives me a chance to give back to my community, my home."
-Kevin Houck, CASA Volunteer
The mission of CASA of Adams & Broomfield Counties is to provide volunteer advocacy and support for at-risk children and youth, empowering families to thrive.
CASA of Adams & Broomfield Counties was incorporated in 1999 and started serving cases in the 17th Judicial District of Colorado in 2000. We are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization and part of The National CASA Association for Children, which supports a network of 950 CASA Programs in 49 states and the District of Columbia.
Building relationships is at the core of what we do. Our volunteers work hand-in-hand with children and families in a variety of circumstances, navigating systems and building bridges to resources and the community.
Research demonstrates that protective factors, such as concrete supports during times of need, and caring and consistent relationships, can counter the effects of adverse childhood experiences, increase children’s resilience, educational success, mental and physical health, and overall wellbeing long-term.
Our volunteers enhance protective factors by being consistent and caring adults for at-risk children and youth, making a measurable impact on the trajectory of each child’s life.
