CASA of Sonoma County became recognized in May of 1997 as the 32nd CASA program, and came to be through the vision of the Presiding Juvenile Court Judge of Sonoma County, Arnold Rosenfield. Premiering under the umbrella of the Social Advocates for Youth program, CASA of Sonoma County became a private non-profit corporation in January of 1998 with financial support from the Junior League of Napa/Sonoma counties, the Witkin Foundation, Sonoma County Community Foundation, and World Products Inc. Foundation. Since our inception in 1996, CASA of Sonoma County has recruited over 700 volunteers who represent a broad cross-section of our community, and has served over 1,000 children. Our volunteers serve as child advocates, advisors, faculty, board members, consultants, and support personnel. Through support form the California Judicial Council, The Walter S. Johnson Foundation, The David Gold Foundation, The Witkin Foundation, National CASA, and many individual donors,
Sonoma County CASA
is now prepared for the next level of program
growth. Our plans are to increase our caseload,
expand staffing, and develop stronger public
relations and marketing. We want all those
who learn about CASA to be proud of what
we will accomplish for the children of
our community. |
