Voices for Children

Voices for Children's mission is to improve the lives of children in foster care through powerful volunteer advocacy until each child is placed in a safe and permanent home.

CASA Volunteers make incredible differences in the lives of children, parents, and families. Voices for Children serves a five-county region that includes Brazos, Burleson, Grimes, Leon, and Madison Counties. In the past year, Voices for Children provided a CASA Volunteer for 249 children. Our volunteers serve newborns to youth aging out of foster care, and stay by the child's side throughout the case to ensure the children stay connected to their support networks until the case closes.

Testimonials

"As a community volunteer for at-risk youth, I met lots of kids loaded with potential that our current systems are failing--not because the people within those systems didn't care. In most cases, they do care, a lot. But they and these kids need more. I became a CASA so I could be part of the 'more.'" - CASA Volunteer, Melissa Freeman
