You can bring hope to a child. A child who has experienced abuse or neglect and is navigating the foster care or the court system alone. Please help us bring the care of a CASA volunteer to children in need by making a gift. https://t.co/MKxWroPs09

Memorial Day is an American holiday honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3PM each year.
Children and youth assigned a CASA volunteer reported significantly higher levels of hope. A child’s hope has been linked to numerous positive outcomes such as academic success, overall wellbeing, increases in self-control, positive social relationships, and optimism.
