CASA of Calhoun County

Yesterday, our advisory council was able to meet for the first time and come together to deepen their understanding of the work of CASA. Their thoughtful input, ideas, and fellowship is an opportunity to truly engage community members in advocate for our organizations mission.

Thank you so much to all in attendance, and to our Calhoun County community for their continued support.

For a lot of people, the idea of court can be scary. Kids aren’t any different. Our advocates work with youth every week to help make sure they know what to expect for court, and also have someone there to stand alongside them.

CASA is more than connecting youth in need to a resource, it is about authentically being there for someone who shouldn’t have to stand alone.

A big part of our volunteer’s role is simply to spend time with the youth they are advocating for. Getting to know them, listening to what they have going on, and genuinely just letting them to know that they have someone in their corner. Always.

Lots of folks have been asking what to expect as a volunteer with CASA, and we wanted to show you!

These are some of things that you would do as a volunteer with CASA of Calhoun County, or as a CASA throughout Michigan.

What about being a Court Appointed Special Advocate stands out most to you?

“Today, on Juneteenth, we honor the enduring legacy of freedom, resilience, and justice.

Here in Battle Creek, we are privileged to walk in the footsteps of Sojourner Truth, who made this community her home and dedicated her life to speaking truth on behalf of those whose voices were too often ignored. Born into slavery, she became a fearless advocate for freedom, equality, women, children, and human dignity.

Her work reminds us that freedom is not simply the absence of oppression—it is the presence of opportunity, protection, and hope.

At CASA of Calhoun County, we carry that spirit forward every day. Our Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers stand beside children who have experienced abuse and neglect, ensuring their voices are heard and their best interests remain at the center of every decision.

As we celebrate Juneteenth, let us remember that the pursuit of justice did not end with emancipation. It continues whenever we advocate for a child, strengthen a family, and build a community where every young person is safe, valued, and given the opportunity to thrive.

May we honor Sojourner Truth's legacy not only by remembering her words, but by continuing her work.

Happy Juneteenth from CASA of Calhoun County.

Every child deserves a voice. Every child deserves hope.”

-Josita Todd, Chair of the Board of CASA of Calhoun County
