Hi! I'm Jillian Wiker, the D&N Program Manager. I have had the pleasure of working for CASA of the Pikes Peak Region since 2013. My roles have shifted over the years, which has afforded me the opportunity to work alongside all of the D&N volunteers in some capacity. My respect for the organization and appreciation for the mission and volunteers who make it possible has only increased over time. On the daily, I am humbled by the immense courage and fortitude our Advocates and Life Long Links volunteers demonstrate as they seek health and healing for children and families working their way through a Dependency & Neglect case. The creativity, sensitivity, and kindness I regularly see employed by our volunteers and staff reminds me that every moment is a chance to lean in and serve. And by serving others, we are ultimately caring for and serving ourselves. A win/win if you ask me. It is a blessing to enjoy coming to work, and I try to always be mindful of this gift. The strength of our staff and volunteers is nourished by the support we receive from the larger community. Thank you for caring about CASA's mission and the people who make it possible!
When not working, I can often be found outdoors hiking, paddleboarding, playgrounding with my soon-to-be 7-year-old daughter, walking my sweet pup, or mowing an unruly yard full of weeds. A longtime practitioner, Yoga has played a central role in my mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing for close to 25 years. It has carried me through the highs and lows of my adult life with grace and wonder. From a fruit and vegetable farm in Lancaster, PA to AmeriCorps National Service in Monterey County, CA to the mountains of Colorado Springs, CO, I hope to continue pursuing a balance between effort and ease.
