Advocate

Thirty years ago I became a volunteer CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) tasked to look in on abused and neglected children and to represent the children’s interests in a court of law. CASA is a national organization, well respected, open to most any adult who has the interest, drive and desire to make a real difference in a child’s life and future. It requires training … time with children and their family … court appearances on the children’s behalf … and the desire to make their lives better and safer. This work isn’t for everyone … though for some among us it surely is.
