Providing Safety and Support for Children in Need
CASA del Valle is dedicated to ensuring the well-being of children in the court system. Our volunteers work with children and youth on providing best interests recommendations for their court cases. Often CASA volunteers are the only consistent adult in these childrens' lives.

Almost 2,000 CASA volunteers participated in Colorado CASA programs in 2023
In 2023, 2,190 cases were served by Colorado CASA volunteers.
Why did we start this organization?
Community members from the San Luis Valley became aware that our judges, who make critical decisions about the futures of children and youth, lack vital information about what is in the child or youth's best interest because Colorado law changed. These community members worked to establish CASA del Valle so that CASA volunteers are available for court appointments to ensure judges are fully informed about the child or youth's life.
Our Mission and Vision
Our mission is to enlist, screen, and train community members to help break the cycle of abuse and neglect through prevention, advocacy and intervention. CASA del Valle aims to provide opportunities for children, youth and families to thrive.
Our Vision
Our vision is to address the needs of children and youth that fall through the cracks. We investigate, find resources, and advocate for best interests both within the courtroom and outside of the courtroom by building community support for children and youth in need.
