Description/Mission:
The New Mexico CASA Network's mission is to support volunteer advocacy for the best interests of abused and neglected children involved in the court system. We work with local CASA programs to promote and support quality volunteer advocacy to help assure each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home.

VALUES
The New Mexico CASA Network strives in all of its relationships to be:

  • Visionary and proactive: Our dream is that every child who needs a CASA volunteer will have one. Our advocacy makes things happen for the benefit of children.
  • Persistent and committed: We will work tirelessly to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. We are not satisfied as long as a single abused child waits for a home.
  • Culturally appropriate and community oriented: Our advocacy is provided in a context of language and culture that is familiar for each child. We believe that all communities have assets that can help enrich the lives of abused and neglected children.
  • Quality-centered and innovative: We believe children deserve the finest, most effective and efficient advocacy possible. We seek to continuously become a stronger voice for abused and neglected children.
  • Caring and ethical: We seek to always serve in ways that are ethical and considerate. We are open, forthright and trustworthy.
  • Effective and accountable: Our advocacy produces measurable and positive outcomes for children.
  • Committed to the development of leaders: Our organization provides opportunities for and encourages staff, volunteers and board members to become better leaders in their communities.
  • Responsive: We will promptly and efficiently serve local program needs. We will honor local program individuality.
  • Volunteer-oriented: We are committed to the spirit of volunteerism and strive to nurture well-trained and well-appreciated volunteers.
