Voices For Children Howard County

Voices For Children Howard County Voices for Children is a non-profit organization that trains volunteer advocates who speak up for abused and neglected children in court

All children have a right to a home with loving people to care for them. But each year, in the United States, millions of children are abused, neglected, or abandoned by their families. Over half a million children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care or institutions each year. Their only “crime” is that they have been victims. In these cases, many children also become victims a

second time, lost in an overburdened child welfare system that cannot pay close attention to each child whose life is in its hands. Sometimes a child can remain adrift in foster care for months, even years. That’s where CASA comes in. Local programs recruit and train community volunteers to become CASA volunteers. Their primary role is to speak up for abused and neglected children in court. Since the first program in Maryland began in 1987, CASA programs have trained thousands of volunteers who assist abused and neglected children.

Shout out to our amazing CASA Volunteers - every day people, looking to give back to thier community!

Jeph has been one of our amazing CASA volunteers in Howard County, Maryland since 2023, advocating and mentoring two different children in the past 2.5 years. In addition to his work as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for foster children, Jeph is multi-talented - he's a potter, baker, fundraiser, volunteer, designer, web developer, gardener, and ailurophile (cat lover). At work, he combines his skills and passion for making a difference working with non-profit organizations. He enjoys time with friends, attending conventions, playing board games, and traveling with his partner.

When asked about what is most rewarding about being a CASA, he replied, "I'm excited to be able to give my time and energy to children who need someone to stand up for them and tell them that they are important."

Thank you, Jeph, for your continued and ongoing support and work with foster children in Howard County, MD!
