Our dedicated volunteers strive to ensure the emotional, physical and educational well-being of these children while they reside in foster homes or residential facilities. The ultimate goal of our volunteers is to help establish a safe, stable and permanent home for each child we serve. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments Our primary program is in direct service to our mission. We provide one volunteer advocate to each case referred to us by the Burlington and Mercer County Family Court. Our ancillary programs support this essential work by providing a specific focus on adolescents who will be "aging out" of the foster care system throughout Foster Futures program. We are the only organization that advocates directly with and for children in each county who have been taken away from their homes due to abuse and neglect. Children who are referred to our organization for a CASA volunteer have often experienced trauma. Because our volunteers stay with their child until the child is in a safe and permanent home, the volunteer is often the single consistent adult throughout the child's foster care experience. CASA demonstrates the expertise to recruit, train, screen and supervise volunteers who pay close attention to each child's unique situation and needs, to see that appropriate services and care are delivered.
