About Us

Passaic County CASA is a non-profit organization which champions the best interests of children in the child welfare system.

We recruit, screen, train, and supervise volunteer advocates who ensure children in the child welfare and court system are safe and receiving the services they need. These advocates focus on the best interests of each child and advocate for those interests throughout the legal and child welfare process. Advocates commit to serve a child until he or she has a safe, permanent, and loving home.

Passaic County CASA was founded in 2007. Since its founding, Passaic County CASA has continued to grow in both impact and number of volunteers. From a single staff member and five volunteers, Passaic County CASA has grown to a staff of twenty two and 151 active volunteers, who together served 317 children in FY2022.

Passaic County CASA is a member of the National CASA Association and CASA of NJ.
