Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers are trained, then assigned by the court to mentor foster youth and act as the "eyes and ears of the judge and the voice of the child." Through court reports and court appearances, CASA volunteers state the child’s wishes and provide the court with recommendations as to what actions would be in the child’s best interests. We also assign CASAs to youth in Delinquency Court, and most recently, to youth involved in sex trafficking.

Child Advocates of Placer County offers programs that support and work with children and youth.

• The Be Bold Youth Program pairs youth with an adult partner who will become someone they can trust, learn with, and grow alongside. Youth will meet weekly for fun-centered and life skill building activities. They will also come together bi-monthly with a larger group of young people who are determined to grow and strengthen themselves while being a strong support system for one another. Some of the topics covered are self-care, sex and relationships, goal setting, budgeting, and figuring out burning questions like what the heck happens after age 18.
