  • Salinas, CA (1888PressRelease) July 10, 2013 - Every year Voices for Children - CASA of Monterey County launches its annual fund drive with a powerful luncheon. More than just a fundraiser, this luncheon is an opportunity to learn about the program and hear directly from the youth who benefit from it. The guest speaker for this year's luncheon is Tom North, author of True North, The Shocking Truth about 'Yours, Mine, and Ours.' Also on the agenda is a youth presenter sharing his story. Both the youth and Tom will enlighten you about the world of child abuse while also making you feel the hopefulness that their stories inspire. A pre-event campaign is underway to meet a donor challenge that will result in a powerful matching gift program.

    Voices for Children -CASA of Monterey County's mission is to train and support community volunteers who advocate for abused or neglected children placed in foster care, upholding the children's rights while pursuing a safe and permanent home. CASAs (Court Appointed Special Advocates) speak up for the children's best interests and build relationships that help restore a child's trust. CASAs also mentor youth over age 18 as they transition out of foster care into independent living.

    Founded locally in 1996 as the Monterey County CASA Association, Voices for Children was formed to make sure children placed in foster care receive the care and services they need to be safe and thrive, with the goal of finding the child a permanent home. Monterey County's first CASA was appointed in 1997. Since that time we've trained over 900 community volunteers and served over 1,000 children.
