“Volunteering for CASA has been a very rewarding experience for me. If I can be a positive influence for the children I serve as their CASA volunteer, and the children know that I am someone they can count on who cares about them, I have accomplished what I set out to do.”
CASA is the only volunteer organization that empowers everyday citizens as appointed members of the court. In an overburdened social welfare system, abused and neglected children often slip through the cracks among hundreds of current cases. CASA volunteers change that. Appointed by judges, CASA volunteers typically handle just one case at a time - and commit to staying on that case until the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. While others may come and go, CASA volunteers provide that one constant that children need in order to thrive. Are you ready to stand up for a child who needs you?
Our local CASA program offers a volunteer opportunity like no other. As appointed representatives of the court, CASA volunteers are empowered to make a lifelong difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.
Local CASA volunteers advocate for close to 300 children per year but over 1000 are still waiting for advocacy. Our volunteers are an amazing force for good, but we need more of them. Our vision is that every child who needs a volunteer will have one. With your help, we can reach that goal.

Become a CASA Volunteer
As a CASA volunteer, you will be able to work with competence. All of our advocate volunteers are thoroughly trained in courtroom procedure, social services, and the special needs of abused and neglected children. Find out more about our training.
We welcome volunteers from all cultures, ethnic, and educational backgrounds. We have a particular need for men, minorities, and senior citizens.
CASA of Adams and Broomfield Counties requires that all participants complete an application and questionnaire, as well as an in-person interview. CASA completes reference and background checks on all applicants. Applicants are required to participate in a 30+ hour initial training session.
CASA of Adams and Broomfield Counties would like to encourage all potential and current volunteers to participate in our Volunteer Referral Program. It's simple. Just refer a family member, friend or acquaintance to our program. If that person completes training and is sworn in as a volunteer advocate, you receive a $10 gift certificate to either Jay's Grille and Bar in Thornton or Great Scotts Eatery in Broomfield as a token of our appreciation. Additionally, by spreading the word about CASA, you will be bringing another dedicated community volunteer to the fight against child abuse and neglect.
A special thank you to Jay's Grille and Bar, and Great Scotts Eatery for their generous donation, which allows us to recognize volunteers in our referral program.
