About Family Advocates

Family Advocates works to keep abused children out of danger and in safe homes, while partnering with parents to build strong families. We are a private, independent 501 (c)(3) non-profit agency located in Boise, Idaho. Founded in 1978, Family Advocates is the parent agency for two programs:

The CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) program is committed to the protection and healing of abused and neglected children who have been placed in foster care and referred to us by the courts. CASA appoints a trained volunteer (called a Guardian ad Litem) to the child. It is the volunteer's job to visit the child regularly, research the childs background and prepare a detailed profile of the child for the courts. More »


Family Advocates' Home Visiting Program is the only early education home visiting service in the Treasure Valley. Professionally trained parent educator’s visit with parents in their homes to increase confidence in parenting skills, connect families to community resources and ultimately prepare children to enter kindergarten ready to succeed.
