Marin Court Appointed Special Advocates is a small nonprofit based in San Rafael, California, that recruits, screens, trains, and supervises volunteers who serve as court-appointed advocates for children in the child welfare system. The volunteers provide a voice for these children in the courtroom and make recommendations to support safety, permanence, and well-being throughout each case. They stay with the child from the start to the end of the case, reviewing records, researching information, and engaging with social workers, attorneys, parents, teachers, foster parents, health professionals, and the children themselves. The organization focuses on addressing medical, mental health, educational, and cultural needs and on securing permanent placements that give the child a stable home. It operates within the non-profit sector to support Marin-area children assigned a CASA by leveraging community volunteers in the court process. Recent activity includes participating in the Rising Stars Gala in 2025.
