Be Part of What's Possible

Every child deserves to be safe, supported, and heard. Your generosity helps make that possible.

CASA of the Continental Divide (CASACD) guides trained volunteer advocates who stand beside children and youth navigating abuse, neglect, truancy, and challenging family circumstances. Serving Colorado’s Fifth Judicial District, including Clear Creek, Eagle, Lake, and Summit Counties, we work to ensure children's voices are heard and their safety, well-being, and best interests remain at the forefront of important decisions.

Your support helps CASACD provide meaningful advocacy, strengthen connections, and help children and families access the support they need to move forward.

Your Support Makes a Difference

Child Advocacy in Dependency & Neglect
Volunteer advocates build consistent relationships with children involved in the child welfare system, monitor their needs, and advocate for safety, stability, and well-being.

Truancy Advocacy & Prevention
We work with students, families, schools, and community partners to identify barriers to school attendance, connect youth with resources, and support pathways toward educational success.

Safe Exchange & Parenting Time
We provide safe, supportive settings for parenting-time exchanges and visits, helping families maintain meaningful connections while prioritizing children's safety and well-being.

Showing Up Beyond the Courtroom

CASACD's impact often extends beyond formal advocacy. Our volunteers and staff work to understand each child's unique needs and help connect them with opportunities and resources that support their growth.

That can mean helping a child access needed clothing or dental care, connecting a teenager with job applications or scholarship opportunities, or driving miles across our mountain communities to ensure a child knows someone is there for them.

Every connection matters. Every child deserves someone in their corner.

Be Part of What's Possible

On Colorado Gives Day, your gift helps sustain the programs, relationships, and resources that make this work possible. Your generosity supports children and youth across our mountain communities not just during court proceedings, but throughout the experiences that shape their lives.

Together, we can help create a future where every child has the opportunity to feel safe, connected, supported, and ready to thrive.

Giving Activity

Mission

CASA of the Continental Divide guides volunteer advocates who ensure a child’s safety, best interest and well-being are at the forefront of legal proceedings.

Background Statement

In 1977, a Seattle juvenile court judge found many children in abuse and neglect cases lacked courtroom representation. This sparked the idea to elect volunteer advocates who spoke on the children’s’ behalf. This program grew into a national network including our own CASA of the Continental Divide, founded in 1999 as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. Originally, CASACD served children in Summit and Eagle counties expanding to Clear Creek and Lake counties in 2000 and 2001. Our truancy advocacy program began in Eagle in 2020, expanded to Clear Creek and Lake counties in 2021, and Summit County in 2023. We launched our Safe Exchange and Parenting Time program in 2024, as of 2026 that program has expanded to serve all four counties in our service area. Additionally, we are working with local school districts to provide Truancy Prevention services to students at risk of court involvement due to chronic absenteeism.
