CASA of Jefferson & Gilpin Counties

About Us

The mission at CASA Jeffco/Gilpin is to recruit, train and support volunteers who serve as independent lay advocates for children who are victims of neglect and physical and/or sexual abuse. Our hope is that all children will have a CASA volunteer as someone to pay attention, someone to give the child a voice, someone to care.

CASA of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties (CASA Jeffco/Gilpin) was incorporated in July 2000 in response to the need to improve the representation of abused and neglected children in the 1st Judicial District of Colorado. Our first class of nine volunteers was sworn in February 2001 and 51 children were served that year. Today, we have over 300 active volunteers and have served over 5,000 child abuse victims.
