"35 Faces" tells the story of the CASA movement
Thirty five years ago, the first group of CASA volunteers completed a full year of service to children. The "35 Faces of CASA for Children" tells the story of this remarkable program.
Thirty five years ago, the first group of CASA volunteers completed a full year of service to children. Today, there are 946 CASA and guardian ad litem programs and 77,000 CASA volunteers nationwide standing up for abused and neglected children. Yet CASA volunteers reach only one third of the children in need.
To help spread awareness, the National CASA Association has launched the “35 Faces of CASA for Children" campaign. "35 Faces" celebrates the story of the CASA movement through the people who comprise it—the judges, volunteers, CASA program staff, supporters—and the young people whose lives have been touched by members of this caring community.
Throughout the summer, National CASA be adding new stories of the people who are making life better for abused and neglected children. Read the first 13 stories here.
