We champion the best interests of infants, children and teens impacted by, or at risk of, abuse or neglect.

One organization.
Three programs.

CASA of Passaic and Union Counties recruits, screens, trains, and supervises volunteer advocates who ensure children in the child welfare and court systems are safe and receiving the needed services. These advocates focus on the best interests of each child and advocate for those interests throughout the legal and child welfare process. Advocates commit to serving a child until he or she has a safe, permanent, and loving home. Learn more…


New Jersey Safe Babies Court Team has a special focus on infants and toddlers aged 0-3.

The goal is for children to maintain healthy development and have lasting permanency, specifically family reunification, whenever safely possible. Learn more…
