Each year we have children on our wait list for a court appointed advocate. Each dollar donated to CASA directly impacts our ability to serve these children. As a nonprofit 501 ( c )(3) organization, we depend on the generosity and support of individuals to sustain and enhance our ability to help the growing number of children in need.
These metrics show a picture of the issues in foster care in Montgomery County today, and what CASA is doing to help.

CASA Open House
Have you been thinking about volunteering or know someone that is interested but wants more information? Are you searching for that organization where you will make a real impact in the community and in the lives of our most vulnerable children? CASA (Court Appointed Child Advocates) of Montgomery County is in need of 30 more Advocate volunteers, as we are turning away 1-2 children a week in need of a court advocate. Please join us and invite your friends to our Open House January 17th at Rico's Grill on Sawdust in the Woodlands, TX from 6-8pm.
During the evening, you will hear how you can make a difference as a volunteer while enjoying a wonderful buffet. We will share Information about why there is the need for CASA, and answer questions about becoming a child advocate. Current Advocate volunteers will be on hand to share feedback on how their work with CASA has impacted not only the life of a child in need but their own life as well. Average time requirement is about 10 hours a month, including monthly visits with the child, phone and internet research, writing court reports and appearing quarterly in court to speak for your child. The initial training is just 30 hours with day and evening offered. Please RSVP for the open house to Mark Goerlitz at: mark@casaspeaks4kids.com.
