#MotivationalMonday You don’t have to change the whole world to make a difference. But you can change one child’s world. ✨ One person. ✨ One child. ✨ One powerful difference. Be the reason a child knows they are not alone. Be a CASA. Be the change. #ChangeAChildsStory

💙 September is Kinship Care Month! 💙 When children cannot safely remain with their parents, being placed with a relative or someone they trust can provide a powerful sense of stability. Kinship caregivers don’t have to do it alone. #CASAvolunteers can be an important source of support and advocacy.

🎉 Fun Fact Friday! Did you know that for many children in foster care, a #CASAvolunteer may be the one consistent adult in their life? A CASA volunteer stays by their side ensuring their needs are being heard in court. Because every child deserves someone who won't give up on them.
