As we approach the end of another remarkable year, we invite you to join us in a cause that transforms lives, uplifts communities, and creates a future brimming with possibilities. In the last year, more than 200 children were involved in abuse and neglect cases in Boulder County. It's time to invest not just in a program but the children in your community who need support, advocacy, and, above all, a reliable adult.
"People hear horror stories about Social Services and the foster care system. Less often do they hear about miracles. Through CASA, we get to see the miracles too."
"Every child deserves a safe environment to grow up in, including a roof over their head, nutritious food in the belly, and an opportunity for education. I'm happy to be a part of the process by being a caring adult who can help a child receive those things."
"Being a CASA is the most important volunteer work I have ever done. I'm still in touch with the first teen I worked with (7 years ago), and he is a thriving young man with a good job and a healthy relationship. I can't even describe the joy I have felt watching him grow into this new life."
"There is nothing like the feeling of earning a hug from a child who is generally suspicious of everybody. It's amazing what your calm, regular, and reliable presence can do for a child in need. This is one of the most rewarding volunteer opportunities out there!"
"Being a CASA has made me more intentional about the time I am spending with my own family. More intentional about my interactions in the community, knowing that you don't know what's going on in people's lives, knowing that even the smallest little gesture can make a huge impact in someone's life--it's a nice reminder."
Boulder Voices for Children builds a healthier community by delivering services, support, and advocacy to children who have experienced trauma.
Boulder Voices for Children (BVFC) was established in 1985 as part of the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) movement, which emerged in the late 1970s to provide best-interest advocacy for abused and neglected children. For 37 years, BVFC has remained dedicated to providing Boulder County’s most vulnerable children with CASA volunteers who ensure their needs are met as they navigate the child welfare system. Our goal is to ensure that every child in Boulder County has a safe and permanent home where they can thrive. In 2023, this equated to 206 children supported by 119 CASA volunteers, as some CASAs advocate for sibling groups.
