About Peer Coordinators

Peer Coordinators are experienced, specially trained volunteers who step into a supervisory role to assist other CASA Volunteers. As a Peer Coordinator, you will draw on your own experience as a CASA Volunteer to provide support and guidance to other CASA Volunteers, and offer resources and problem-solving as issues arise.

We began this program in 2014 with five Peer Coordinators and the program has grown year after year. Last year, 19 Peer Coordinators supported 117 CASA Volunteers who advocated for 261 children and youth in Adams and Broomfield Counties.

Peer Coordinators are the reason CASA of Adams & Broomfield has grown to be one of the largest serving CASA programs in Colorado.
