Voices for Children trains and supports roughly 1200 court appointed special advocate (CASA) volunteers. These CASA volunteers are not paid, but are motivated by the goodness of their hearts. The primary mission of the CASA volunteers is to serve as the eyes and ears for the Judge and to speak up for the foster child in court, at school, and other situations. Without these CASA volunteers, it would be nearly impossible for the Judges to make informed decisions. If you ask any dependency Judge in San Diego County, theyll tell you how much they appreciate the CASA volunteers.

This is a wonderful non-profit that recruits, trains and supports Court Appointed Special Advocates, volunteer sworn officers of the Court, who assist foster children to have as normal a life as possible. CASAs serve as the Judges eyes and ears and make recommendations regarding the needs of their case kids.. You, too, can help foster kids by becoming a CASA.

Great mission and very organized informational sessions. Plenty of free parking and really nice location

I was an advocate here, but was discouraged from advocating for a child with autism when it reflected badly on the CPS workers and Polinsky Nurse who had messed up medications. My advocacy report was also withheld by a Voices for Children supervisor so it couldnt be seen by the Judge. Probably, because it exposed the medication errors that were covered up, along with injuries at Polinsky Center that went undocumented. Amazing. Shocking. Truth. Lost all respect for this organization and would never recommend anyone who is a real advocate for autism or people with developmental disabilities to waste their time or talent here. They dont want real advocates. Real advocacy entails investigation, exposing truth and honoring justice. These people want the advocates to do the bare minimun. Just go with the flow. Dont step it in. Or, Just play nice. You dont play nice when youre a real advocate and you discover that a county nurse isnt documenting medication errors or the child you are advocating for has been injured and people are refusing to talk to you about it, or let you see the living space where it allegedly happened. And who bows down to a medical doctor at Polinsky Center who is intimidated by an advocate who asks too many questions. This was no voice for children experience for me. This was the opposite. This seemed like a front. A con job to the courts. This was my experience. Other people think this place is great and thats fine. This review is off the reality and truth of what I saw and experienced here.
