Court Appointed Special Advocates give kids a chance

CASA of Titus, Camp and Morris Counties welcomed Ariana Villarreal as she took an oath on Aug. 23 before the Camp County Judge, Honorable Judge Loughmiller. Ariana is now sworn in and accepted her duties as a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer.

As a CASA volunteer you become a part of a caring group of people who work to ensure all children placed in the foster care system, due to abuse and neglect, can have the safe, stable and nurturing environments they need to thrive. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteers speak up for a child in court so that child’s voice can be heard as he or she is going through the foster care system.

You too can be the voice making a positive difference at a critical point in a child’s life. If you or someone you know is interested in providing children a chance please call Michelle Cobern at 903-767-3679 or visit www.casatcm.org or www.becomeacasa.org.
