Child Advocates of Silicon Valley

Child Advocates of Silicon Valley is an independent nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization founded in 1986. We serve children aged birth to 21 years old who are placed in the Santa Clara County Dependency Court System (commonly referred to as foster care) for having experienced trauma in the form of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment. We serve children in foster care by: ensuring every child has a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Volunteer; building enduring community partnerships to broaden and strengthen our impact; influencing local policies and decisions that affect the children we serve. We are responsible for operating the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Program in Santa Clara County, which entails recruiting, training and supporting CASA Volunteers according to the National CASA Association standards.
