Voices for Children, CASA of Boulder County


This Season's Most Important Gift

This season’s most important gift isn’t wrapped. It’s a trained volunteer advocate who shows up for a child during the hardest year of their life: at every hearing, every school meeting, and every placement change, for as long as it takes.

For more than 40 years, Voices for Children, CASA of Boulder County has matched children in the court system with a consistent adult advocate. This year, our advocates stood beside 256 children across our dependency and neglect, truancy, and truancy prevention programs.

A gift of $250 helps cover the recruiting, training, and supervision behind one volunteer advocate. Every gift, of any size, helps a Boulder County child know that someone is in their corner.

Help us raise $25,000 this Colorado Gives Day.
