A CASA-EP mentor working with a youth at the 2026 Youth Leadership Summit
Mentorship pathway

Mentor with purpose.

Through our Fostering Futures Forward program, mentors walk alongside youth ages 10–18 in the foster care and juvenile justice systems — building life skills, confidence, and a path to independence.

The difference

Advocate, mentor — or both.

Advocate

In the courtroom

CASA advocates work within the court system to speak up for a child’s best interests.

Mentor

In everyday life

Youth mentors provide social and emotional support, life skills, and career guidance.

Both

You choose

Tell us where your heart is — serve as an advocate, a mentor, or both.
