Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Bergen County is a nonprofit organization based in Hackensack, New Jersey, that recruits and trains volunteers to advocate for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse or neglect. Appointed by the New Jersey Family Court, each CASA volunteer serves as a dedicated advocate for a specific child or sibling group, independent of other case participants, with the goal of ensuring access to necessary services and moving the child toward a safe, legally permanent home. The organization provides court reports and guidance to family court judges and other parties, reflecting the child’s best interests across physical, medical, educational, and emotional dimensions. The emphasis is on giving a singular, continuous voice to the child within the foster care and family court systems, alongside social workers and legal representatives involved in the case.
