CASA Youth Interns

In this this video from the National CASA Association, foster youth special powerfully about the importance for every youth to have a voice.

Here is an opportunity to hear from foster youth who spent one summer on Capitol Hill as members of the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute's internship program. They speak powerfully about the importance for every youth to have a voice, and about the need for CASA volunteers.

Would you like to become a CASA volunteer – or do you know someone who might fulfill this special role?  Attend an information session this Saturday, October 20, 11 am - 12 pm, at the Burke Centre Library and learn more.
