CASA of the Pikes Peak Region

Each year, the Pikes Peak Region ranks #1 in Colorado for Child Abuse & Neglect Hotline calls. Last year, 18,000 calls came in. Hundreds of these kids were placed in foster care. What these kids need during this traumatic time is a trusted adult to stand by their side. That is exactly what CASA provides. With a mission to give children a voice in court, CASA recruits, trains, and supports volunteers in four programs – including Milton Foster Children's Fund which benefits from Give!

Our mission is to help people escape the cycle of poverty and homelessness, secure stable long-term housing, and achieve a self-determined vision for their lives. I really cannot say it any better than our own mission statement, for this is exactly what we do. My job title is Facilities Director, however the objective within me reaches much farther than fixing a leaky faucet. Our residents receive me as their neighbor.
