World Kindness Day: How CASA Volunteer Advocates Make a Difference

Today, we celebrate World Kindness Day, a day dedicated to spreading compassion, empathy, and goodwill across the globe. At CASA of the River Region, kindness isn’t just a sentiment—it’s at the heart of everything we do.

CASA Volunteer Advocates are everyday people who make an extraordinary difference in the lives of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. By offering their time, attention, and advocacy, these volunteers provide more than support—they provide a consistent, caring presence in a child’s life during one of their most challenging times.

Volunteering with CASA is an act of kindness that multiplies. Our volunteers:

• Listen and support children through regular visits, building trust and stability.

• Advocate for their needs in Family Court, ensuring children’s voices are heard.

• Connect families to essential resources, from basic needs to educational support to therapeutic services.

Every hour our volunteers dedicate, every child they mentor, and every effort they make to ensure safety and well-being is a tangible act of kindness. These actions ripple outward, helping children feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive despite their challenges.

This World Kindness Day, we invite you to celebrate kindness by making a difference in a child’s life. Consider volunteering as a CASA advocate, donating to support our mission, or simply spreading awareness about the importance of advocacy. Together, our collective acts of kindness help rewrite children’s stories—from uncertainty to hope, from isolation to support, and from fear to resilience.

Kindness has the power to change lives—and there’s no greater place to start than with a child in need.
