Impact
Since 2003, CASA of Caroline has recruited and supported trained volunteers who advocate for children in foster care involved in the court system.
No single number can tell the whole story of that work. The information below offers one verified snapshot of CASA of Caroline’s local advocacy, along with the public source behind it.
A snapshot of local advocacy
One part of a CASA volunteer’s role is preparing reports for the court with information and recommendations about a child’s needs.
In Fiscal Year 2024, the Maryland Judiciary reported that CASA of Caroline submitted an average of 3.1 court reports per child served.
This figure reflects program activity, not a measure of child outcomes.

Volunteer testimonial
Volunteer testimonial
Serving as a CASA has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life as a volunteer. It has been an honor to stand beside a child during a difficult chapter and be a consistent voice advocating for their best interests. Watching a child find safety, stability, and ultimately a place to call home is a privilege I will never forget.
