Family Advocate

Family Advocate is a nonprofit organization located in Boise City, Idaho. The organization employs 20 individuals and generates approximately $5 million in annual revenue. Family Advocate operates the Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program, providing a voice for children who have experienced abuse, abandonment, or neglect. The program focuses primarily on children under six years of age, ensuring they have representation in court proceedings. Through the CASA program, trained volunteers, known as Guardians ad Litem (GALs), are matched with each child placed in foster care. These volunteers provide individualized attention, acting as objective advocates for the child's needs in court. Volunteers serve as the eyes and ears of the child, offering the judge an unbiased perspective on the child's best interests.
