CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY
in Douglas County, OR
Trust and stability are some of the most important factors in a child's development, and when these elements get torn away, it can leave a harmful impression that echoes throughout the rest of a child's life. Children who have experienced neglect and abuse are the ones who need our help the most. That is why CASA of Douglas County in Oregon was founded on the long-standing tradition of community solidarity and hope. It is this hope that we want to instill in children who may feel abandoned or lost. We rely on compassionate volunteers and donors to make this dream a reality.
Who is CASA of Douglas County?
The CASA of Douglas County program is a private, non-profit agency founded in 1993 by local attorneys, the Juvenile Court Judge, and local youth service providers. The agency is based in Roseburg, OR, and serves all of rural Douglas County. We provide volunteers for children who are in the welfare system and may need the help of a trained specialist. We are here to ensure that these children have their needs met until they can find a permanent loving home.
The work we do...
We advocate and support children who have experienced abuse or neglect, or who have been removed from their homes due to safety risks. When a Court Appointed Special Advocate, or CASA, is assigned to a child's case, they offer stability during uncertain, and often fearful, times. CASA of Douglas County does this by advocating for the child's safety, family stability, and social development. Contact us to learn more about how you can help out.
