About Us

Who Are We?

Oregon CASA Network, an affiliate of the National CASA Association, is the statewide organization supporting Oregon’s 19 local CASA programs. The local programs recruit, screen, train and support CASA volunteers.

What Do We Do?

Our mission is to support and unite local CASA programs to promote volunteer advocacy on behalf of children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. We do this by:

  • Promoting awareness of Oregon’s CASA programs, CASA volunteers, and children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

  • Supporting local program offices (capacity-building, training, technical assistance, collaboration, pass-through funding).

  • Working with the National CASA/GAL Network to support strategic expansion and development of CASA programs.
