Supporting, uniting and growing the local CASA programs that provide court appointed volunteer advocates for abused and neglected children in New York State.

www.casanys.org CASA programs in New York serve more than 2,500 children and youth, over 80% of whom are in relative or non-relative foster care. Others remain at home with family with supervision. Advocate volunteers are paired with one child or sibling group, visiting regularly, working with other adults involved in the child's case and providing information to Family Court in order to help judges make informed decisions in the child's best interest.

Research has also demonstrated that children and youth with a CASA volunteer spend less time in foster care and receive more essential services than children and youth who do not have a CASA volunteer.

🍂🍁 Fall Back & Slow Down! 🍁🍂

As we turn our clocks back this weekend, take a little extra time to slow down, recharge, and enjoy the simple things that make fall special. Just as children need caring adults who give them time, attention, and encouragement, we all benefit from slowing down and being present.

This weekend, remember that sometimes the most meaningful thing we can give someone is our time.

Happy Fall Back weekend from all of us at CASANYS!
