To acknowledge the commitment, time, and compassion of CASA/GAL volunteers, National CASA/GAL is partnering with FosterStrong to host the first-ever, CASA/GAL Volunteer’s Day on Tuesday, May 18. To recognize the dedication and resilience of CASA/GAL volunteers, National CASA/GAL and FosterStrong are working with members of Congress to recognize CASA/GAL Volunteer’s Day on the morning of May 18, followed by a culminating virtual celebration for all CASA/GAL volunteers at 7 p.m. ET. The virtual celebration will feature CASA/GAL volunteers and youth sharing their stories, and performances by spoken word artist and FosterStrong founding member Slam Anderson and multi-platinum singer/songwriter Andy Grammer!

Starting earlier this year, CASA of Somerset, Hunterdon and Warren Counties (NJ) has been highlighting various issues within the world of foster care through its podcast, CASA Connection. Join the program’s staff, volunteers and former foster youth every two weeks through Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Podbean or iHeart for topical discussions about issues that directly impact the child welfare system and best-interest advocacy.
