Serving More Children With Volunteers

texastechieswp — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 19:36:04 +0000

Programs in the Texas CASA Network continue to make progress toward the vision of having a CASA volunteer for every child in the Texas foster care system.

In the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2012, which began September 1, 2011, 54 of the 69 CASA programs were serving 70 percent or more of their children with CASA volunteers.

This is real progress toward quality advocacy for children in foster care. Congratulations!

Only 413 of the 980 foster children in the Coastal Bend area had a CASA volunteer to help them be placed in the most secure, nurturing home possible. Your donations help ensure more foster children can have a CASA volunteer to stand by them in their time of great need. CASA of the Coastal Bend wants every child in foster care to have a CASA they can rely on and trust. In order to accomplish this goal, we need to train and retain and additional 200 to 250 volunteers at a cost of $2,293 per volunteer per year.
