Child Advocates, a Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program, helps abused, neglected, and abandoned children in the Child Protective Services (CPS) system. For 27 years, the CASA program in Houston, Texas has been run by Child Advocates, a 50-employee nonprofit that leverages more than 700 volunteers—students, business people, retirees, and others—to support Houston’s children in family courts. The Houston Press recently named it the region’s “Best Charity.”
