CASA of Monterey County trains and supports community volunteers (Court-Appointed Special Advocates) who are sworn in by a dependency court judge and matched with abused or neglected children and youth placed in Monterey County's foster care and juvenile justice systems. Volunteers complete 35+ hours of training over five weeks, receive ongoing staff support, and act as independent advocates with access to teachers, social workers, caregivers, and attorneys. The organization is funded through donations, corporate sponsorships, and fundraising events, and operates from its Salinas, California office.
