CASA of Solano County

10/15/2026

You don't have to have all the answers to make a difference. Great CASA volunteers listen, care, follow through, and show up for the young people they advocate for.
If you see a little of yourself in those qualities, you might already have what it takes to be a CASA.

We’re wrapping up our 2026 legislative recap with two final bills signed into California law! 🎉

📍Assembly Bill 2684, authored by Assemblymember Stephanie Nguyen, gives non-minor dependents placed out of state the option to have their monthly visit virtually.

📍Assembly Bill 2478, authored by Assemblymember Nick Schultz and Assemblymember Jose Luis Solache, establishes a Kinship Family Approval program, resulting in more successful recruitment of kin caregivers and more placements of children with people they already know and love.

Thank you to Governor Gavin Newsom for supporting these bills and helping advance this important legislation.

🇭🇳🇨🇱🇧🇿 Happy Hispanic Heritage Month🇲🇽🇸🇻🇬🇹🇨🇷

Representation matters. For many young people in foster care feeling seen starts with feeling understood.

Hispanic youth make up the largest group of children in California's foster care system. Spanish-speaking and culturally connected CASA volunteers can help young people feel seen, heard, and supported- while celebrating the language, culture, and identity that make them who they are.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, consider showing up for a young person in our community and helping them feel seen, supported, and proud of who they are.

Our next training begins in a few weeks. Join an upcoming Info Session to learn how you can show up for a young person in foster care.
