Our Mission: To be there for every foster child in Silicon Valley who has experienced abuse, neglect and/or abandonment.
About us
Child Advocates of Silicon Valley is an independent nonprofit 501 (c) 3 organization founded in 1986. We serve children aged birth to 21 years old who are placed in the Santa Clara County Dependency Court System (commonly referred to as foster care) for having experienced trauma in the form of abuse, neglect and/or abandonment. We serve children in foster care by: -ensuring every child has a caring and stable adult in their life, an Advocate, while navigating the system; -influencing local policies and decisions that affect the children we serve; -building enduring community partnerships to broaden and strengthen our impact. We are also an affiliate of the National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Association. As an affiliate, we are responsible for operating the CASA program in Santa Clara County according to the national guidelines, which entails recruiting, training and supporting CASA Volunteers.
