Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program plays a vital role in advocating for children and youth in the foster care and juvenile justice systems. CASA volunteers ensure each child’s voice is heard and their best interests are represented. Advocates are volunteers of all backgrounds. No child welfare or legal experience is required.

Committed to providing consistent educational support, Child Advocates of Contra Costa County connects K-12 children and youth with trauma-informed volunteer tutors. Tutors meet in person with students once a week, offering help with assignments, foundational skills, or planning for college or careers. By becoming a volunteer tutor, you can empower local students and help them build a brighter future.

Having access to reproductive health education and services is vital to the well-being of youth in foster care and the juvenile justice systems. Child Advocates connects youth to these essential services through education, awareness, and referrals. Partnering with Contra Costa Health, we provide information on contraception, STIs, consent, and healthy relationships, as well as referrals to trusted providers. Together, we empower youth to make informed decisions, prioritize their health, and build brighter futures.
