🌟Congratulations to our October Volunteer in the Spotlight, Jo-Ann!🌟 Jo-Ann has been a CASA advocate since spring 2024 and has been making a difference from day one. She is currently advocating for two cases, with one of her cases recently reaching a successful close. Jo-Ann brings so much compassion, warmth, and dedication to every child she advocates for. She is committed to making a difference and being a strong voice for the children she serves. We are so grateful to have Jo-Ann as part of our CASA family! ❤️ Thank you, Jo-Ann, for all that you do!
“I have learned so much since I became a CASA. You learn to understand and empathize with the children and families who are involved with the foster care system. They need advocacy, support, and sometimes just a safe place to express themselves. As a CASA volunteer, I have met some amazing people: a young girl who is the first high school graduate in her immediate family, a grandmother who is raising her grandchildren while working full time herself, a resource family who is raising a nonverbal autistic child while raising their own children, caseworkers who have large work loads but care deeply for the families they serve, and the CASA office people who support you in so many ways. Through CASA, I also am very fortunate to have met a friend with whom I have a lot in common. Not everything that you experience is easy but it is such a good feeling to know you can make a difference in someone’s life.” Jo-Ann
