With over 155,000 lifetime members across 46 US states, CASA is a national powerhouse organization building power and improving the quality of life in working-class: Black, Latino/a/e, Afro-descendent, Indigenous, and Immigrant communities. CASA creates change with its powerbuilding model blending human services, community organizing, and advocacy in order to serve the full spectrum of the needs, dreams, and aspirations of members. CASA currently has six offices in Maryland, two in northern Virginia, and three in Pennsylvania, including our offices on Princess Street and Roosevelt Ave in York.
CASA’s Pennsylvania service centers are located in York and Lancaster, with a brand-new location on Roosevelt Ave in York. CASA has designed a program model to specifically respond to the needs of the immigrant and working-class communities in south-central Pennsylvania. This model includes: legal screenings, financial literacy trainings, employment advancement training, tax preparation, employment fairs, citizenship clinics, and youth afterschool programming.
Core to CASA's model, CASA is member-based. CASA conducts outreach and organizes its members into local committees that develop individual and collective leadership to work for social justice and human rights. CASA's member committees elect representatives that form leadership counsels that inform CASA's strategic objectives in the fight for justice for the working-class and immigrant communities.
CASA is the foremost Latino and immigrant organization in the mid-Atlantic region and a national leader in supporting immigrant families and ensuring that all individuals have the core supports necessary for full participation in society. Founded in 1985, CASA aims to address the root causes of the inequities faced by low-income immigrants by operating direct service programs and promoting
grassroots movements through which affected individuals advocate on behalf of themselves and their communities.
CASA directly addresses human needs by serving nearly 40,000 people annually, while simultaneously impacting the regional and national debate on immigrants and public policy. Through seven offices in Maryland, two in northern Virginia, and one office in Pennsylvania, CASA provides critical services to the thousands of low-income immigrants it serves across the region.
Donations support the direct services we provide, as well as our organizing and advocacy efforts that promote social justice.
