NorthJersey.com – April 04, 2024
A local nonprofit founded 16 years ago as Passaic County CASA officially changed its name this week to better reflect its mission to serve child welfare. Under its new identity, Child Focus, the organization headquartered in an industrial park off Hamburg Turnpike, will continue to run its three core programs. It is known primarily for recruiting and training advocates of foster children. Those volunteers are often the only stable figures the children have to rely on, and they are regarded as the eyes and ears of judges who make life-altering custody decisions.
