Imagine what it feels like to be the person who shows a child that heroes still walk the earth and that not all grown-ups are the same. You can be the one to restore a child’s faith in people and give them hope for the future. Think about a time in your life when you felt alone, and someone came to stand beside you. Do you remember what a gift that was? You can give that same gift to an abused or neglected child as a Court Appointed Special Advocate.
At CASA for Kids of East Texas, we believe that everyday people have the power to change lives. Our volunteers come from all walks of life, bringing unique backgrounds and perspectives to their work – but what they share is a dedication to making a difference for children in our community. Below, you’ll find inspiring interviews with our CASA volunteers, each sharing their stories and what it means to be part of a cause that’s bigger than themselves. Discover how these ordinary people are making extraordinary differences, one child at a time.
