Meals on Wheels

The Yamhill County CASA Program (YC CASA) is a non-profit organization based in McMinnville, Oregon, dedicated to advocating for the best interests of abused and neglected children under the jurisdiction of the court. Since its establishment in 1992, YC CASA has recruited, trained, and supported volunteers who serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for children in dependency cases, striving to reduce the time spent in foster care while prioritizing the well-being of the children. With a focus on meeting the academic, social, emotional, and physical needs of each child, YC CASA supports family preservation and believes in the value of reunification whenever possible. Committed to creating safe and stable homes for every child, YC CASA recruits culturally mindful volunteers who understand the importance of family history and are sensitive to the barriers introduced by traumatic experiences. Through comprehensive training and ongoing support, these volunteers become well-versed in the range of services available to help families rebuild trust, process trauma, and ultimately reunite stronger and safer. By providing a CASA volunteer to children who have experienced abuse or neglect, YC CASA aims to improve outcomes, including finding safe permanent homes, academic success, and reducing the likelihood of re-entering the foster care system.Generated from the website
