Who We Are
-
CASA Partners exists to ensure that children who have experienced abuse and neglect have consistent, trained advocates standing beside them. We work in partnership with the court system, community organizations, and dedicated volunteers to strengthen support for children navigating dependency proceedings. Our focus is simple but powerful: recruit, train, and support Court Appointed Special Advocates so that every child’s voice is heard and their best interests are represented. We believe lasting change happens when committed adults step forward and communities rally around their most vulnerable children.

C.A.S.A. Partners was founded in 1997 by a dedicated group of C.A.S.A. volunteers who recognized that children involved in dependency and foster care proceedings needed more than advocacy in the courtroom. They saw firsthand the gaps in resources and the everyday needs that were not being met, and they stepped forward to act.
With a three year, $30,000 grant from the Junior League of Spokane, C.A.S.A. Partners was established as a volunteer led 501(c)(3) organization committed to supporting the local C.A.S.A. Program and enhancing the quality of life for vulnerable children in Spokane County. What began as a small community initiative has grown into an organization that now sponsors four direct service projects: My Bag, My School Bag, Needs From The Heart, and the Bee Kind Garden.
Today, C.A.S.A. Partners continues to expand its impact through the generosity of local businesses, community organizations, and individual donors. For nearly three decades, we have remained committed to standing in the gap for children who are navigating custodial arrangements, foster care, and uncertain futures, ensuring they receive both advocacy and immediate, compassionate support.
We serve from the heart, standing firmly for children who deserve stability, dignity, and unwavering support.
