Welcome the St. Louis Voices for Children web site

Voices for Children (formerly St. Louis City CASA) is an organization whose mission it is to speak on behalf of abused and neglected children in the City of St. Louis.

Voices for Children child advocates change the lives of abused children by helping them move from foster care to safe, stable homes where they have the chance for a positive future—a chance to reach their full potential. Voices for Children Advocates are community volunteers who dedicate their minds and hearts to improving life for children in St. Louis.

They investigate and monitor the circumstances of these children’s lives, maintaining the child welfare system’s focus on the CHILD. As the eyes and ears of the Judge in the community, a Voices for Children advocate provides to the court a full picture of a child's life, and they recommend what they think is best for him or her. It's an awesome responsibility, but one that over 280 St. Louisans have taken on, because they care.

Over 3,000 children were in foster care last year in the city alone. They spend more than 3 years in foster care, on average, more than a year longer than anywhere else in the state, unless they have a Voices for Children child advocate. Help these children by learning more about them, volunteering your time or your ideas and resources. You can have a positive impact on the future life of our city by helping these child victims of abuse and neglect.

You can help them move to a home, where they will learn the things all children deserve and need: to love and be loved, to work, to be responsible, to trust again.

"Other than raising my family, my work as an advocate through Voices for Children, helping the kids I serve are the most important things I've done in my life."
- Volunteer Child Advocate, Anonymous

Voices for Children believes it is every child's right to have a safe and stable home within a child's sense of time. Therefore, we advocate aggressively on behalf of these children, knowing that what is "soon" for adults may be an eternity to a child.
