Change a child's story.

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of New Hampshire provides a voice for children and youth who have experienced abuse and neglect by empowering a statewide network of trained volunteers to advocate on their behalf so they can thrive in safe, permanent homes.

Our Advocates Provide:

Safety -  A CASA volunteer advocate helps ensure a child is in a safe environment through monthly meetings with the child and regular contact with important people in his or her life. The CASA works with a team of people to help secure necessary services for the child’s well-being.

Stability- The CASA volunteer advocate provides a consistent, stable relationship throughout the case. They are someone the child can depend on when things like their living arrangements and school placements and other people in their lives are changing.

Permanency - A CASA volunteer advocate makes qualified, unbiased recommendations to the court to assist in achieving in a safe and permanent placement for the child.

Quality Advocacy - CASA of New Hampshire meets every child and family where they are, learning and advocating from a position of respect and curiosity. Read our full pledge to quality advocacy.

Volunteer to Change a Child’s Story

CASA volunteers are ordinary people who step forward to advocate in New Hampshire’s court system for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Volunteers spend time getting to know the child or children they are working with and gather information from the important adults in each child’s life so they may make qualified, unbiased recommendations to a judge about what they believe to be in the best interests of the child.
