Voices for Children Riverside County

April is National Volunteer Month 💙

To our current CASA volunteers, thank you for showing up, speaking up, and making a lasting difference for children in foster care.

If you’ve been thinking about getting involved, now is the time to learn how you can become that voice for a child who needs one by signing up for a Volunteer Info Session. | Learn more at speakupnow.org

What does adulthood after foster care really look like?

Join us on April 22 for a special virtual Real Word panel featuring Anthony, Josh, Vanessa, and Emanuel — all former youth in foster care who were served by Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs).

They’ll share honest, in-depth perspectives on what it was like to transition from being a youth in foster care, to a young adult in extended foster care (EFC), to an adult living outside of care.

Panelists will discuss topics including:
🏠 Moving into their own home
🛒 Grocery shopping and cooking
💵 Finances
🎓 Higher education
…and more

This special panel is open to those interested in becoming a CASA, current CASAs, and current and former foster youth. Youth ages 16+ may especially benefit.

One day. One goal. One powerful impact.
