Speaking Up for Children!

Each year, the dedicated staff at Voices for Children work with over 200 CASA advocates to represent the best interests of over 800 children in St. Louis city foster care.

Our Staff

Every day, the juvenile court, schools, health and mental health professionals and foster families wrestle with life-altering decisions affecting our children. Every day, our staff and volunteers are there, giving each child a powerful voice in those decisions.

Our child advocates work tirelessly to ensure our most vulnerable children receive a meaningful education, have good medical, dental and mental health services, retain important connections to family especially siblings and move toward a permanent loving home as quickly as possible.

We are proud to be part of two national movements – court appointed special advocates and children’s law centers – working to give children in foster care a powerful voice.
