“I believe you are the five people you hang out with, and the more good, stable adults we can put around these kids, the better chance they have. They see a different path, a different way to behave, a different way to treat people, and that’s who they become. We’re human, we’re adaptable, but if we don’t have those good influences around us, we will succumb to that.” Jeff Roedersheimer, CASA Volunteer & Boardmember

“The CASA training was fantastic. I’ve been through all sorts of training in my corporate career and I thought the CASA training was excellent. It’s a different role, most people have no idea what kids in foster care have been through. The training helped us to understand that and gave us techniques to support our youth which were really, really good.” - Paul Hardy, CASA Volunteer

“I feel a bigger obligation because I know how critical my work is. David has changed social workers, schools, lawyers and placements multiple times since we’ve been together. I am one of the few consistent things in his life. That’s what makes this role feel so impactful to me.” Christopher Williams, CASA Volunteer
