Established in January 2000, CASA of NJ is an independent non-profit organization that ensures that the services of a CASA volunteer advocate – trained and supervised by a local CASA program – are available to every child in out-of-home placement throughout the State of NJ. Through funding, training, public education, and technical assistance, CASA of NJ supports a statewide network of affiliated community-based CASA programs that advocate for the best interests of children removed from their homes because of abuse and/or neglect.
