Casa Of Kern County

Casa Of Kern County is a non-profit organization based in Bakersfield, California. The organization employs 34 people and generates annual revenue of $5 million. Casa Of Kern County is dedicated to advocating for abused and neglected children within the juvenile dependency court system. They achieve this through a network of highly trained volunteers who act as court-appointed special advocates (CASAs) for children in need. These volunteers work to ensure that each child has a voice in the court process and that their best interests are represented. The organization's volunteers are sworn officers of the court, tasked with providing the judge with an independent assessment of a child's circumstances. This assessment is based on interviews with key individuals in the child's life, and the CASA makes recommendations regarding the child's case disposition.
