Voices for Children - St. Louis View Charity Profile
Voices for Children (formerly St. Louis City CASA) is an organization whose mission it is to speak on behalf of abused and neglected children in the City of St. Louis.
Voices for Children child advocates change the lives of abused children by helping them move from foster care to safe, stable homes where they have the chance for a positive future—a chance to reach their full potential. Voices for Children Advocates are community volunteers who dedicate their minds and hearts to improving life for children in St. Louis.
They investigate and monitor the circumstances of these children’s lives, maintaining the child welfare system’s focus on the CHILD. As the eyes and ears of the Judge in the community, a Voices for Children advocate provides to the court a full picture of a child's life, and they recommend what they think is best for him or her. It's an awesome responsibility, but one that over 280 St. Louisans have taken on, because they care.

Voices for Children - St. Louis Volunteer Information
Voices for Children volunteers are ordinary people who are inspired to do extraordinary things. They are the “backbone” of the organization since its inception and are vital to its continuing success. Because of them, Voices for Children is able to provide immediate quality advocacy for children in foster care in the City of St. Louis. Without volunteers, the successes of Voices for Children would be minimal.
Volunteer advocates immediately begin to impact the lives of the children they represent. In conjunction with their supervisors, volunteer advocates address both the legal and social issues facing these vulnerable youth. Children represented by Voices for Children spend less than half the time in foster care than their counterparts who are not represented by the organization.
