National Organization<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

For over 40 years, the National CASA\/GAL Association for Children has worked in service of the national network of CASA\/GAL programs. We are headquartered in Seattle, Washington, with an office in Atlanta, Georgia.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\n\t

Our Reach<\/h4>\n\t

We lead the continued growth and development of an extensive national network of CASA\/GAL programs, each of which recruits, trains and supports volunteers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t<\/i>\n\t\t\t

939<\/h3>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\tstate organizations and local programs in 49 states\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t

We provide the following for our member programs:<\/h2>\n\t\t
    \n
  1. Training and Curriculum<\/strong>
    \nWe create research-based trainings, such as our e-learning series on educational advocacy, and continuously improve our core volunteer training curriculum. Our annual conference is an opportunity for anyone involved in the CASA\/GAL movement to gain expertise that will help them be more effective.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
    1. Technical Assistance and Quality Assurance
      \n<\/strong>We offer extensive technical assistance to help programs serve more children more effectively, and a set of standards that provide a framework for quality program management. Each state organization and local program participates in an assessment process led by National CASA\/GAL, and we set membership criteria that programs adhere to.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        \n
      1. Volunteer Recruitment and Public Awareness
        \n<\/strong>We develop and coordinate national campaigns to help programs recruit CASA\/GAL volunteers and raise awareness about child abuse and neglect.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          \n
        1. Resource Development and Grants
          \n<\/strong>We provide pass-through funding to state and local CASA\/GAL programs through a competitive grants process. Grant funding comes primarily from the Department of Justice, but also from private corporations and foundations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
