CASA-NYC is a volunteer-based nonprofit focused on young people in New York City's child welfare system. It aims to ensure their needs are met and rights protected, with the goal of moving children in foster care into safe, stable, nurturing, and permanent homes—preferably with their families of origin when possible. Based in New York City, CASA-NYC relies on volunteers to advocate for foster youth and coordinate with families and service providers within the child welfare system. It is part of the nonprofit sector focused on child protection and welfare. A notable development in recent years is a partnership with Unite Us, announced in April 2022, aimed at expanding access to resources for children and families.
