CASA of Arizona

What CASA of Arizona does

CASA of Arizona is a private nonprofit organization that recruits, trains, and deploys Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers to represent the best interests of abused and neglected children in Arizona dependency court proceedings. The organization operates as a statewide network of 15 county-level programs (Apache, Cochise, Coconino, Gila, Graham, Greenlee, La Paz, Maricopa, Mohave, Navajo, Pima, Pinal, Santa Cruz, Yavapai, and Yuma), each with its own website, contact phone number, and application process, unified under the CASA of Arizona brand and the oversight of the Arizona Supreme Court.

The core service is the CASA Volunteer Program: adults aged 21 or older, who are U.S. citizens or legal residents, undergo background checks and interviews, complete a mandatory 30-hour pre-service training, and commit to remaining on each assigned case until closure. Volunteers serve as the consistent adult voice for a child navigating foster care, advocating for safety, well-being, and a path to a permanent home. As of January 2026, approximately 1,000 active CASA volunteers were serving 1,200 children, against an unmet demand of roughly 7,000 children awaiting representation statewide.

CASA of Arizona generates no commercial revenue from program participants; its funding derives from donations, grants, and public sources. The organization is leanly staffed (5 employees per firmographic data) and supplements capacity through a 1,000-strong volunteer workforce. It operates within the broader National CASA/GAL ecosystem for cross-state referrals and shared resources. There is no proprietary technology product — the organization's "product" is the trained volunteer advocate and the matching/case-management infrastructure that connects them to court-appointed cases.
