Casa of the Ninth

OUR MISSION: Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of the Ninth's purpose is to provide well trained, court appointed volunteer advocates to abused and neglected children in Colorado's Ninth Judicial District. Our goal is a safe, permanent, nurturing home for every child we serve.

CASA of the Ninth is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization serving Garfield, Pitkin, and Rio Blanco counties in Colorado.

We are a member of the National CASA Association and Colorado CASA. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for abused and            neglected children in court and in the community. The desired result is that children be placed in safe, loving homes where they can thrive. There are over 100 children involved in abuse and neglect cases in the Ninth Judicial Circuit of Colorado. Our goal is to help these children find a safe and permanent home.
