Let's clear a few things up about becoming a CASA volunteer.
Swipe through...you might be more qualified than you think.

CASA volunteers don't need a legal background, a certain career, or endless free time. They need to care, show up consistently, and speak up for a child who needs an advocate. That's it.

We had a blast connecting with the Michigan City Area Schools staff at the Wolfie's Wellness Conference! 🎉 So many great conversations about what it means to be a mentor, volunteer, or a Family Advocates supporter.

Right now, 23 children in La Porte County are waiting for a CASA. Many have had multiple caseworkers, placements, and schools.
A CASA is the one adult who stays. You don't need a law degree. You need to care, and to show up.
Training is self-paced and starts every month.

🌟 Mentor Spotlight: Emily Archambault

Emily serves as Assistant Director for the City of La Porte Park and Recreation Department and Foundation Liaison for the La Porte City Park Foundation. With a passion for building community connections, mentoring was a natural fit!

“You don’t have to have all the answers. You just have to be someone a student can count on. If you've ever thought about mentoring, I'd absolutely encourage you to try it"

Emily believes that showing up consistently and building connections can make a lasting impact on both the student and the mentor.

Thank you, Emily, for showing up for local students and making a difference!

Today, some of our Family Advocates team attended the Embracing Change Juvenile Symposium, taking time to learn, connect, and strengthen our work supporting children and families in our community.

We are grateful for opportunities like this to grow our knowledge, share perspectives, and bring new ideas back to the work we do every day.

Thank you, Lynn, for being a voice for children in La Porte County.
