Our mission is to provide well-trained, court-appointed volunteer advocates to abused and neglected children in Colorados 9th Judicial District. The programs vision is to support a safe, permanent, nurturing home for every child it serves.

CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of the Ninth is a volunteer-based nonprofit organization serving Pitkin, Garfield, and Rio Blanco counties that trains and supervises volunteers to represent the best interests of our most vulnerable citizens victims of child abuse, neglect, and severe domestic conflict. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court and in the community. The desired result is that children are placed in safe, loving homes where they can thrive.
