Macon County CASA is invested in ensuring that our CASA volunteer advocates understand our children, the trauma they come from, and the impact they, as CASA advocates, can have on a child's life. Last evening, 14 of our volunteer advocates gathered for a Brown Bag presentation to hear Shaun Wilkinson of Rutledge Youth Foundation share about the many programs available to help older youth in care prepare for brighter futures, from college scholarship programs, to independent living programs. CASA advocates play a significant role in a child's life, always advocating for their best interest. Educating ourselves is essential to providing the quality advocacy they need and deserve.
