My Nonprofit Reviews

I’m proud to talk about Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers any chance I get! They advocate on behalf of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Their advocacy helps ensure that children are safe, have a permanent home and have the opportunity to thrive.

The work CASA does is so very important for children, families and the community, and it holds a special corner in my heart because I had a CASA worker of my own as a teen going through the foster care system. I always felt that my CASA had my best interest in mind and as a teen, she was someone I could look up to. In a system that can feel too big and too easy to get lost in, I felt that I had someone in my corner, who could speak up for me when it mattered most.

There are many stories... complex stories, about foster care, but the point is this; kids and teens in foster care need you, they need CASA.

While not everyone is able to be a foster parent, we can find ways to help. If it speaks to you, I encourage you to learn about CASA and support them by donating and/or getting certified as a CASA volunteer to be the person that stands by kids and teens as they navigate through foster care.

Thank you.
