Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a time for reflection, service, and action. As we honor the legacy of Dr. King, we are reminded of his powerful words: "Life's most persistent and urgent question is, 'What are you doing for others?'" This day offers a unique opportunity for us all to give back to our community, to make a lasting difference, and to serve those in need.

 

One of the most impactful ways to serve is by becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer. CASA volunteers are the voice for children in foster care, advocating for their best interests and ensuring they have the resources and support they need to succeed. Each year, thousands of children in our community experience the trauma of abuse or neglect, and many of them do not have the guidance and stability they need to thrive. CASA volunteers fill that gap.

 

Volunteering is an essential part of building strong communities. When we give our time and resources, we help improve lives, create opportunities for others, and inspire change. By choosing to volunteer with CASA, you can help shape the future of a child who may be facing some of the most difficult circumstances imaginable. Your time, dedication, and compassion can help provide stability and hope a child needs to succeed.

 

As we commemorate Dr. King’s vision of equality, justice, and service, we encourage you to consider how you can contribute to your community. Whether you have a few hours a month or can commit to a larger role, your involvement as a CASA volunteer will make a tangible, lasting difference.


How you can get involved: Becoming a CASA volunteer is easy. CASA of the 18th JDC is now accepting applications for the upcoming volunteer training. The training will provide you with the knowledge and skills necessary to advocate for children in foster care and to make a real impact in their lives. No experience is required—just a willingness to make a difference.


Volunteer training: If you’re ready to take action and make a meaningful difference this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we invite you to join us in serving children in foster care.



As we celebrate Dr. King’s legacy, let’s honor his vision by committing to service in our own communities. Together, we can help children in foster care find the hope, guidance, and opportunities they deserve.
