Child Advocates San Antonio (CASA)

We are so proud of our graduates! Today, CASA, College Docket and PEARLS celebrated the determination and success of students who are beating the odds.

This graduation is so much more than a milestone for kids who have come so far!

Everyone’s been asking where Gracie the Giraffe went.

We spotted her.

She’s came to CASA to register for tomorrow’s Information Session.

So what do you say, come join us and see if you spot her at our next class.

At CASA, all of our volunteers are trained and ready to advocate for any child. Although, According to research by Kyle Pruett, M.D. and Warren Farrell, Ph.D., children with a consistent, positive male influence in their life:

- Have better physical well-being
-Possess higher competency for relating with others
- Demonstrate greater ability to take initiative
- Better evidence of self-control
- Achieve more academically
- Are more likely to abstain from using drugs

The men who step up to serve as advocates provide stability, encouragement, and a powerful example of compassion in action. Their voices help ensure children in foster care are seen, heard, and supported when it matters most. Every conversation, court appearance, and act of consistency creates hope and lasting impact.

Congratulations to our newest class of 16 CASA Advocates.

Today, they took the oath to stand up for children in foster care and ensure their voices are heard. Among this class are a father who joined his daughter in serving as a CASA Advocate and a husband who followed in his wife’s footsteps to begin his own advocacy journey.

The need for children doesn’t stop with one person—it grows when family, friends, and loved ones choose to serve together.

A heartfelt thank you to H-E-B for welcoming CASA and allowing us to connect with your incredible partners about the power of volunteer advocacy.
Special shoutout to CASA Advocate Jo, who is also an H-E-B partner, for sharing her story and inspiring others to make a difference.

Every child deserves a consistent, caring advocate who shows up for them during some of life’s most difficult moments.

The data in this snapshot reflects the children served over the past fiscal year alongside the advocates who supported them. While advocates come from many backgrounds, this also highlights an important opportunity: strengthening male representation among volunteers.

Male advocates play a vital role in bringing diverse perspectives, mentorship, and support to children who benefit from seeing a range of positive role models in their lives. Expanding this representation helps ensure the system better reflects and responds to the needs of the children we serve.
