Review for CASA of Sonoma County (Court Appointed Special Advocates of Sonoma County), Kenwood, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

CASA of Sonoma County is an exceptional organization that serves the at-risk youth in Sonoma County. You would not think that there would be orphaned/abused/neglected children in such an expensive area- the wine country- but, surprisingly, there is a huge need in this county. CASA serves in a role that is unlike any other. They are the conduit between child in need to a child who is cared for and mentored; And who is represented in family court so that every aspect of their needs is discussed and heard by the family court judge via representation from a CASA volunteer (among others). Volunteering as a CASA is by no means easy. It's a large time commitment, training, spending quality time with your child, following through with reports and other tasks. But it is all in the interest of your CASA child, which makes it a rewarding experience, and at the same time serves an incredibly important role in the community.
