Every person has the potential to #ChangeAChildsStory

Over the last year, we’ve watched our CASA volunteer community really grow and this exponential growth trajectory doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon!

With your help, we can cover infrastructure costs, compensate our team, offer more community training & support, build up more resources, sponsor speakers, build new relationships, and most importantly continue to spread our message of advocacy for abused and neglected children.

donate

Your donation gives children in our community who have been abused or neglected a powerful voice in the court, at school, and in our community.

By becoming a CASA volunteer, you can help provide a voice for children who have been abused and neglected.
