To inform Bergen County’s foster youth, who will be aging out of the system, about their rights and services, we are hosting a remote Embracing Independence Conference in April 2022. This is important because the pandemic impacted (and continues to impact) our teens more than any other age group. We find that they are more isolated, less informed, and have fewer supports than previous generations.
Help Bergen County CASA make their virtual Embracing Independence Conference a fun and exciting event by purchasing prizes on our Amazon Gift Registry – so that Bergen County foster teens can be more prepared when the time comes to embrace their independence.
Please share our Amazon Gift Registry with your family and friends! Thank you!

The mission of CASA for Children of Bergen County is to advocate for children removed from their homes due to abuse and/or neglect. We ensure that needed services and assistance are made available to these children while helping to move them toward safe and permanent homes.
