CASA Yellowstone County is a non-profit organization in Billings, MT that advocates for the best interests of children in foster care. With a record number of children in Montana's foster care system, CASA volunteers play a crucial role in providing stability and consistency for these children as they navigate the foster care system. By building relationships with the children, meeting with adults involved in their lives, documenting important information, and attending court hearings, CASA volunteers make a difference in the lives of these children, helping them find permanent, safe, and loving homes. With approximately 700 kids currently in foster care in Yellowstone County alone, CASA Yellowstone County is dedicated to ensuring that every child in foster care has a CASA Advocate. These volunteer Advocates come from various backgrounds and commit to being a consistent and trusted adult for the child throughout their time in foster care. By advocating for the child's safety, permanency, and best interests, CASA volunteers help improve outcomes for children in foster care, including reduced time in foster care, improved educational outcomes, and higher rates of permanency.Generated from the website
