Supporting local programs providing court-appointed volunteer advocacy to abused/neglected children

Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) or GAL (Guardian ad Litem) volunteers serve as the “eyes and ears” of the judge, gathering relevant information about the child and the family. They make recommendations to the judge regarding what is in the child’s best interests. A CASA/GAL volunteer works to ensure that the child is placed in a safe, permanent and nurturing home as quickly as possible. By speaking for the child, the CASA/GAL ensures that the wishes and needs of the child are not overlooked by the many competing interests at play.

Behind many child welfare cases lies a history of domestic violence; a home where safety was compromised long before a court date.

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and our CASA advocates help prioritize the safety and long-term healing of Montana's abused and neglected children. Your support fuels this vital advocacy across Montana, helping us move families toward safer futures and break the cycle of violence for the next generation.

Emotional safety is just as vital as physical safety. For a child in the foster system, anxiety doesn’t pause for court dates, and trauma doesn't wait for a courtroom recess.

CASA advocates are often the first to notice the signs: the panic at school drop-off, the recurring nightmares, or the withdrawn silence. By bringing these critical details to the judge’s attention, our advocates ensure the child's mental well-being remains a priority.

Your support provides the essential training our advocates need to recognize trauma and secure vital mental health resources for these children. Please volunteer or donate today and help us change a child’s story.

Comment HELP, and we’ll send you direct links to learn about becoming a CASA volunteer or making a donation to support advocacy, training, and our local programs across Montana.

October is Estate Planning Month - What will your legacy make possible?

Including MT CASA in your estate plan is a meaningful way to help ensure children who have experienced abuse or neglect have advocates in their corner for years to come.

A planned gift can take many forms, including a bequest in your will or trust, a beneficiary designation, or another charitable gift that reflects the future you want to help create. Every legacy gift helps strengthen MT CASA programs across Montana and supports the dedicated advocates who stand up for children when they need it most.

Talk with your attorney or financial advisor about the options that fit your wishes, then connect with us to learn more about leaving a lasting impact for Montana’s children.
