This week, we have invited Wise members who have been Court Appointed Special Advocates to tell us about the meaningful work they’ve done to help kids who are at the margins of our society by giving them a voice and an ally. Learn more about becoming a CASA at our interest meeting on June 24.
Writing Essential History Reports and being part of the CASA program has allowed me to make a difference in the lives of children in the foster care system, while also giving me flexibility as a wife, mom of two teenagers, and part-time substitute teacher. Becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is by far one of the most rewarding experiences I have had as a volunteer. I know that each and every hour I put into working on a report, I have the ability to positively impact a child’s life!
