Now known as CASA for Children of Bergen County, our program is to prevent abused and neglected children from becoming lost in the child welfare system. The objective of appointing a CASA Volunteer, a trained advocate from the community, is to ensure that the child's best interest is represented at all times. CASAs are appointed by a judge, to ensure that the best interests of the child are met. In order to do this, the CASA must investigate the facts of the case, recommend a course of action to the court, facilitate the resolution of the presenting problems, and monitor the progress toward the established goals.
CASA for Children of Bergen County is an independent, non-profit organization of professionals and trained volunteers who have been appointed by the NJ Family Court to advocate for children removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect. We work to ensure that needed services and assistance are made available to these children while helping to move them toward safe and permanent homes.
