Court Advocates for Children in Foster Care From CASA of Berks County
CASA of Berks County trains screened community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children across Berks County, including Reading and surrounding communities. The volunteers are court appointed, and they gather child focused information that helps judges make informed decisions supporting safety and permanency.
A CASA volunteer meets with the child, talks with people involved in the child's life, and reviews relevant information to understand what is really going on. The volunteer then shares clear, child focused recommendations with the court to support safe and timely decisions. CASA volunteers do not replace attorneys or caseworkers; they provide a consistent, independent perspective centered on the child. The work is rooted in Berks County courts and community partnerships, and the organization is part of the national CASA network.
A child is connected to an advocate through court appointment, so this is not something a family signs up for directly. A child welfare professional can reach out to learn how CASA advocacy fits within court processes and referral pathways. A community member trying to support a child or family can contact the team to discuss the situation and appropriate options; staff will clarify what CASA can and cannot do, and where to direct urgent needs.
For general questions, the office number is 610-301-8634 and the email address is laura@casaberks.org. The office is at 845 North Park Road, STE 307, Wyomissing, Pennsylvania 19610. There is also a general contact form at casaberks.org/contact, where you leave your name, phone number, and a brief description of your question; a staff member will respond within 1 to 2 business days.
Office hours are not listed, and the page does not say whether there is any cost to a family. If you are interested in serving as an advocate yourself, the organization holds information sessions that walk through the step by step process from information session to being sworn in as a CASA.
