The interactive map above shows the locations that our 443 current CASA volunteers are from! Let’s celebrate the this week and every week for their outstanding advocacy for the abused and neglected children in our community!

Meet current staff member and former volunteer Dapril!
“I always knew that my career would involve helping children. I am an avid volunteer and a former educator with over 20 years of experience working with children. One day I was driving and heard a CASA commercial on the radio. I instantly knew that I wanted to become involved with the organization. I started as an advocate and recently became a Specialist in January 2022. I am from a family of educators, and I thought that teaching was my calling but once I became a CASA advocate, I knew the right career path for me. So, when I am asked about how I am liking my new job, my reply is always, " I am living the dream".”

Meet CASA volunteer Morgan!
Months/Years volunteering: 4 months
Children helped: 1
Favorite thing about CASA: It is a great reminder of the importance of "the little things." There is so much about the world I can't change, but CASA allows me the opportunity to make an impact simply by showing up.
Inspirational quote: I may not be able to change the whole world, but if I can be a light in the darkest time in a child's life, I'll have changed their world for the better.
When not volunteering: You can find me at 1515 Commerce St. - I am a law student at Texas A&M University School of Law.
Fun fact: I grew up on a small farm in Colorado. I have been skydiving. I can say the alphabet backward.

Meet CASA volunteer Esther!

Months/Years volunteering: 3 years
Children helped: 4
Favorite thing about CASA: Spending time with the kids and seeing them grow and develop, and be happy. In addition it gives me so much joy to see birth parents do what they are asked to do in order to get their kids back. I volunteer because as a retired teacher spending time with kids has been my lifelong desire. I believe that children are a blessing from the Lord, and they did not ask to be born, so they deserve all the best once they come into this world.
Inspirational quote: Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. -Mother Teresa
When not volunteering: I volunteer at my church, go to the gym to work out, and I do a lot of traveling, since I am currently a retired teacher and do not work at this time.
