CASA of Jefferson and Gilpin Counties serves the most vulnerable children through awareness, advocacy, and support. With the dedication of hundreds of volunteers throughout Jefferson and Gilpin counties in Colorado, we serve the 1st Judicial District, which ranks 6th in the state for child abuse and neglect cases. Children are our future and, while they are our most valuable resource, they are also the most vulnerable. As one of nearly 1,000 CASA organizations across the country, CASA Jeffco/Gilpin is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization that relies on donations. While we do assist the courts, we are not a government organization. Founded in 2000, CASA Jeffco/Gilpin has provided volunteer advocates for more than 3,200 abused and neglected children.
