ProKids provides advocacy for children in the foster care system and trains CASA volunteers.
ProKids’ vision is a safe, permanent and nurturing home for every child. For 31 years, ProKids has been advocating for abused and neglected children by mobilizing our community to break the vicious cycle of child abuse and neglect. We recruit, train, and support community volunteers to speak up for children who have been abused and neglected, and help guide them into safe environments where they can thrive. The heart of this effort is our CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteers. Each CASA volunteer is assigned to a foster child – making sure the child is safe, that the child’s needs are being met, and helping each child move into a safe, permanent and nurturing home as quickly as possible. In order to maximize outcomes for all children in need, ProKids is also dedicated to creating alliances within the child protection system. Together, we can create a new cycle of growing up safe and secure, and fundamentally change the future for our children and our entire community.
