CASA Info Meeting + Lunch
Join us for a one-hour, no-pressure opportunity to learn more about how we can care for vulnerable kids and families in our community.
We’ll be hosting a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) Info Meeting with representatives from Sacramento & El Dorado Hills. During this time, you’ll hear what CASA is, how it impacts foster youth, and simple ways you can be involved—whether that’s becoming a CASA or supporting the foster care community in other meaningful ways.
What is a CASA?
A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a trained volunteer who is appointed by a judge to advocate for a child in foster care. CASAs get to know the child, speak into their needs, and help ensure they are seen, heard, and supported as decisions are being made about their future.
This is a great next step if you’ve been curious about foster care or want to better understand how to make a difference locally. There’s no expectation to commit—just come, learn, and explore.
Details:
Sunday, May 17: 1-2pm
Lakeside Lounge in the Lobby
Light lunch provided
Whether you’re ready to take a next step or simply want to learn more, we’d love to have you join us.
