VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT
"I became a CASA volunteer because it is my life's mission to impact my community by helping others. Children, while frequently overlooked in the midst of domestic issues, are often the ones that suffer the greatest trauma. No one is defined by their trauma. If children are given the space, encouragement, and opportunity to become more than the environment surrounding them suggests, they will heal from that trauma and go forward to change the world. As corny as it may sound, children are our future. I want to do everything in my power as an adult to give them a chance to voice their hopes, dreams, and desires for a better life and a better world. I have the privilege of sharing their voices and words within the court. I advocate for them so they may learn to continue to advocate for themselves."
