Our Goal by 2008

In the next two years, our goal is to help an additional 100,000 children beyond those we already serve. This is just one step along the way to providing a CASA volunteer for every child who needs one. It is a very ambitious goal, and we cannot do it alone. But we have a plan to get there—by:
  • Evaluating our organizational structure and staffing to ensure that we are set up in the most efficient and effective way possible.
  • Targeting promotional efforts in areas of the country where the need is the greatest and among groups of individuals most likely to volunteer.
  • Focusing our efforts to recruit and retain volunteers of color in several large cities, with an emphasis in 2006 on African-American volunteers.
  • Unifying the power of the CASA network. We want to make our corps of 50,000+ advocates feel more connected with each other and with National CASA, which will help with retention, recruitment, awareness and development throughout the country.
  • Implementing a fundraising plan that will enable us to initiate and continue the projects outlined above.
