Welcome to the Maryland
CASA Association Web Site!
Dedicated to ensuring all victims of child abuse and neglect in
Maryland their right to safe, permanent homes.
Maryland CASA Association is the state organization for Maryland’s Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Programs. In partnership with our fifteen affiliated CASA programs, we work to ensure every victim of child abuse and neglect their right to grow up in safe and permanent homes. This mission is carried out through the efforts of professionally-trained volunteers, appointed by the court to speak up for the best interests of children who are under the protection of the courts.
We hope you will join us on this mission! Whether you choose to become an advocate for a child, help with fundraising or public awareness activities, or make a financial investment in our work, we can always use your support!
Please explore our site to learn more about us and the many ways in which you can help children in need. Check back often to learn about upcoming events, volunteer training classes, fundraising activities, etc. You may also check us out on Facebook and Twitter!
