VOICES FOR CHILDREN:
Founded in 1980, Voices for Children (VFC) transforms the lives of abused, neglected, and abandoned children in foster care in San Diego and Riverside Counties by providing them with trained, volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). CASA volunteers advocate for a foster child or sibling group in court, school, and in the community to ensure their needs are met. VFC believes that every child deserves a safe and permanent home and strives to provide a
CASA volunteer to every child in the foster care system who needs one. Last year, VFC CASAs and staff served more than 2,500 foster children across San Diego and Riverside Counties.
