CASAs Make a Difference

For Children!

Just ask Pamela Butler, an Oregon youth who had a CASA:

“To give a child a CASA volunteer is to give them a voice. To give them a voice is to give them hope, and to give them hope is to give them the world. I believe that with all my heart.”

Our mission is to advocate on behalf of abused and neglected children in Yamhill County. Children with CASAs spend less time in foster care and are more likely to find safe, stable and permanent homes.

Find out more! Attend our "Conversation about Child Advocacy" in McMinnville or Newberg. If you have wondered how you might help a child who has been neglected or abused, come and talk with people from the Yamhill County CASA and the foster parents recruitment program. Please bring a friend or coworker, too!

    McMinnville - May 15, Noon-1 p.m., Third Street Books, 334 NE Third

    Newberg - May 22, Noon-1 p.m., Chapters Bookstore, 701 E First

No RSVP needed; just stop by. This conversation will happen almost every month so look for it next month if you can't attend in May.

 Here are other ways you can volunteer or donate:

·        Apply now to be a CASA. You'll train on a Thursday afternoon or evening for 10 weeks. Our next training begins in April. Call or e-mail us with your preference!

·        Enjoy wine from one of Yamhill County’s Case for CASA wineries! Your purchase means Yamhill County CASA programs will receive a contribution from the participating winery or retail outlet.

·        Donate directly to CASA.

·        Offer to serve on one of our committees.

·        Invite us to speak to your civic organization, church or social group.

·        Distribute our brochure and bookmark (in English and Spanish) at your meeting or in your workplace.
