All of us at CASA-NYC wish you and your loved ones a safe, healthy, prosperous new year. As we envision the year ahead, we encourage you to reflect on the children and youth spending the new year in foster care, uncertain of what the year ahead may look like for them.

Thousands of children each year, unfortunately, find themselves navigating the tremendous challenges of foster care. With your support we can bridge this gap, reaching those who may otherwise fall through the cracks of the child welfare system. Please consider donating today.

Merry Christmas! The holidays can be a difficult time for children in foster care. They may be missing their parents, siblings, extended family, and familiar traditions but CASA volunteers try to make the season a little brighter for the children and families we serve. ⁠

Kari is one of more than 300 CASA-NYC volunteers making sure that every one of the nearly 1,100 children and youth we’re serving this year knows that they have an extra support system advocating for their best interest.

CASA-NYC volunteer advocates work tirelessly year-round to make sure the children and youth we serve have their needs met and rights protected while in foster care or after transitioning out of foster care.

Thank you for your dedicated time and effort to helping the children, youth, and families we serve. Whether it is attending court hearings, helping families get the resources they need, or simply answering a phone call, the work we do at CASA-NYC could not be done without you!

[CASA NYC @CASA_NYC]

We are so grateful for everything that our volunteers, staff, board members, youth advisors, and donors do for CASA-NYC's children, youth, and families. Wishing you all a happy Thanksgiving!

This month we seek to increase awareness and bring attention to the need for adoptive families. So far in 2023, CASA-NYC has helped to finalize the adoptions of 16 children into their forever families, where they will experience safety, and stability, - permanently.
