On this week's episode, host Allison Donahue, program manager at The Rapidian, speaks with Stephanie Sheler, Executive Director of CASA of Kent County
Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Kent County organizes and empowers community members to provide best-interest advocacy for children in Kent County’s child welfare system.
Their program connects concerned citizens with the family court to make a lasting impact on the lives of children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
Stephanie also spoke about CASA volunteer opportunities.
She noted that CASA volunteers come from different backgrounds and experiences. Some are students, some are working, some are retired, and some are stay-at-home parents.
CASA volunteers are essential advocates in the family court system, they do not need any special legal or social work training. They also do not need to be licensed foster parents because they do not provide care or housing for children. Instead, CASA volunteers come as they are, with open minds and open hearts.
