Last year, SLO CASA is celebrated 30 years of advocating for and supporting abused and neglected children in the foster care system in San Luis Obispo County. We recruit, screen, train, and supervise volunteers who advocate for this vulnerable population with the goal of ensuring that every child grows up in a safe, nurturing, and permanent home.CASA volunteers are trained to gather information and focus their advocacy to cover the needs of the whole child, including placement, physical and mental health, education, permanency, and well-being. All CASA volunteers receive coaching and ongoing support from one of SLO CASA's Advocate Supervisors. In 2023, SLO CASA supported 174 volunteers who were assigned to 254 foster children. Approximately 41 of those children were placed in the city of San Luis. We held 22 Information Sessions attended by 84 community members and interviewed 57 applicants. We trained 46 new CASA volunteers. In 2023, SLO CASA supported 174 volunteers who were assigned to 254 foster children. Of the 254 children: 53% were female and 47% were male; 16% were Hispanic/Latinx; 3% were Black, 58% were White, and the rest were other races, two or more races or unknown. 26% were ages 0-5, 31% were ages 6-12, 31% were ages 13-17, and 12% were ages 18-21.Last year, we adopted a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) project plan focused on improving the diversity, equity, and inclusion of our volunteer base, so that it better reflects thegender and ethnicity of the children we serve. We specifically identified the need to recruit andtrain more men and individuals of Latino descent. Our efforts have been successful and our volunteer pool today has more men and Spanish-speakers than ever before, allowing us to best meet the needs of all children in foster care. 1104672 true true false false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true 4 0 true 20 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 13 12 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true false false CA X DANIELLA BARION 8055416542 PO BOX 1168 SAN LUIS OBISPO CA 93406 X GILBERT STORK PRESIDENT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 SUZY DA SILVA HAMILTON VICE PRESIDENT 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KAREN HEISINGER SECRETARY 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 KIRK VAUGHN TREASURER 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 BRET COLHOUER MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 DILLON MCGILL MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 EMILY LOPEZ MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 KELLI BLACKBURN MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NICK HEBERT MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 RUDY BACHMANN MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 THOMAS ANDERSON MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 NANCY SHOKOHI MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ANN MURPHY MEMBER 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 1485434 34365 1485434 EDUC ADVOCACY/OTHER 3511 3511 SERVICE FEES 35000 35000 38511 32451 32451 0 0 0 0 58852 58852 0 0 0 1615248 70962 0 0 0 0 0 0 918497 657644 116282 144571 0 120612 69992 35233 15387 71690 51330 9076 11284 0 0 0 0 0 0 73061 52311 9250 11500 0 12453 8916 1577 1960 0 0 26382 18890 3340 4152 0 0 0 7892 5651 999 1242 0 66297 51669 6521 8107 31105 22271 3938 4896 Contributions in kind 34365 34365 Staff Training 30466 30466 Child Enrichment 25244 25244 Dues & Subscriptions 16170 11578 2047 2545 76173 64345 5273 6555 1510407 1104672 193536 212199 825781 1002453 72409 75902 0 137749 119534 0 0 0 0 40103 31456 127055 63436 72111 63619 0 0 0 0 183780 137167 1331933 1430131 11613 23179 256069 237790 267682 260969 X 1064251 1169162 1064251 1169162 1331933 1430131 104841 70 X false true X true false X 749065 827346 826152 1553726 1485434 5441723 233537 155887 313138 35000 35000 772562 0 0 0 982602 983233 1139290 1588726 1520434 6214285 0 0 6214285 0 0 0 0 982602 983233 1139290 1588726 1520434 6214285 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 51060 40938 10122 75995 22498 53497 63619 Gift Cards 8400 Right of Use Asset 128767 137167 Compensated Absences 41842 Lease Liability 132590 Other Liabilities 63358 237790 false Fundraising-Net of expenses 58852 58852 58852 58852 58852 Rent 4200 Donations 30165 false false false Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b TREASURER PROVIDES COPY OF DRAFT RETURN TO EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW AND COMMENT.
