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

Rating: 5 stars  

I volunteer as a Court Appointed Special Advocate in Sonoma County. It is a very well-organized and run non-profit. In order to volunteer for their organization and start helping a child, I had to go through an extensive 30 hour training. CASA provides knowledgeable, caring professionals whom I can turn to for advice. Now I am able to make an important difference in the life of a child who really needs it. This young child has faced trauma and neglect. Their life is much better since they were removed from that situation, but two years later they are still unable to feel settled and happy because their life is controlled by a legal system that doesn't honor their desires as the top priority. As a CASA, I get to befriend the child and help alleviate their suffering, even though many factors are causing them grief. It is a privilege to help a young person in need and I am grateful that CASA of Sonoma County is making this possible. The organization deserves support and gratitude from the community!
