From CASA of Travis County, this month's spotlight nonprofit:
"It only takes one adult to change a child’s life for the better. I want to be that for a child. Don’t you?" expresses June, a dedicated CASA volunteer. At CASA of Travis County, we’re looking to make that difference for children in the child welfare system who have experienced abuse or neglect.
ABOUT CASA
CASA stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate. When the state steps in to protect a child’s safety, a judge appoints a trained volunteer advocate to make independent and informed recommendations in the child’s best interest. Volunteers advocate for children’s safety, well-being, and for opportunities to thrive. They come from every walk of life and share a commitment to improving children’s lives, a willingness to learn, and an open mind towards life experiences different from their own. After completing extensive screening and training, volunteers are sworn into their roles by a judge and assigned to a child or family of children.
