Each year about 1,500 New Hampshire children are thrust into court because they are victims of physical or sexual abuse, neglect or abandonment. Many of these children become part of the overburdened state child protection and justice systems. Their lives are disrupted. Their futures, uncertain.

CASA of NH volunteers advocate in New Hampshire's courts for the best interests of abused and neglected children, so they can grow up in safe, permanent homes. We have 400 CASA volunteers throughout New Hampshire currently helping children, listening to their needs and bringing important, timely information to the state's judges so the courts can make informed decisions about their futures.

But there are more children in need than we have the volunteer or financial capacity to handle. We need more resources, but your help can make an important difference.
