"All children are quick to hope. Hope is what carries us all into tomorrow and new beginnings. Children in foster care are no different. These children, that the public knows only as faceless statistics, are part of the portrait of our future. They are courageous children, full of potential and the grace of endurance. They are waiting for a guiding hand and a forever family--they are waiting for us. With compassion and guidance, they can step out of the shadows of abuse and neglect and into the light of love, acceptance and accomplishment."   Kathy McCarty, CASA of Oklahoma County Child Advocate

Mission Statement

As a non-profit agency we are dependent upon gifts from the general public to provide recruitment, training and supervision of volunteers who advocate for the best interest of abused children.  Our CASA provide the light, the hope for these children that they might find a home in which they can live and thrive.  Your gift does effect the life of a child.  Know more by listening to the CASA and the Judge featured here.
