❄️✨ Meet Our Amazing Friends of CASA Holiday Luncheon Co-Chairs, Jennifer Hanlon & Dana Strader ✨🎄 “We support CASA because children in foster care, through no fault of their own, can be left without a caring adult to guide them. Every child deserves someone they can trust, someone who will stand up for them—and that's exactly what CASA does. CASAs provide the stability, security, and guidance that these kids need during the most critical times in their lives. This is why we’re so passionate about supporting CASA.” ~ Jennifer & Dana Join us in making a difference! 💛 Purchase sponsorships now to be a part of this impactful event. Together, we can empower and uplift children in need. https://lnkd.in/gvncRZhG

CASA OC appreciates all the ways our community partners support our mission of bettering the lives of youth in the Orange County foster system. We were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support and couldn't do this work without your generosity.

CASA of Orange County is proud to have sworn in a new group of Family Finding Advocates. This results from an expanded volunteer opportunity that offers a more flexible way to support youth in foster care. Family Finding Advocates follow the traditional CASA application and training process. Rather than being assigned as a mentor/advocate, they support a youth in identifying, engaging, and cultivating relationships with their kin. Rosemary Aceves is working on her first case and was excited to share her experience. "Working with the Family Finding Department has been an incredibly rewarding experience. As a former emancipated foster youth, I understand the profound impact that connecting with family can have. In my few months with the department, I've witnessed firsthand the dedication and compassion of the team as they work tirelessly to reunite foster youth with their families. It's been a pleasure to be part of such a meaningful initiative, and I look forward to continuing to contribute to this important work."
