Dear CASA Community,

July is National Make a Difference to a Child Month—a time to reflect on the profound impact that one adult can have in the life of a child. At Voices for Children, this isn’t just a month on the calendar—it’s our mission every day.

Across our community, there are children who have experienced neglect, abuse, and trauma—young people navigating through the uncertainty of the child welfare system. They need more than case numbers and court dates—they need someone in their corner. Someone who listens. Someone who cares. Someone like you.

Our volunteer advocates make a difference every single day. They show up. They speak up. They stay.

And the results are powerful. Children with a CASA volunteer are more likely to find safe, permanent homes, do better in school, and experience a sense of stability in a system that can feel uncertain.

Here’s how YOU can make a difference this month:

Become a CASA volunteer – If you’ve ever considered stepping into advocacy, there’s no better time than now. We provide training, support, and a community of peers.

Share our mission – Spread the word about CASA’s work. Someone in your circle may be the advocate a child needs.

Support our programs – Your donations help us recruit, train, and retain the volunteers who change lives every day.

Celebrate our advocates – If you’re already a CASA volunteer, thank you. Take pride in the difference you make. Celebrate you!

This month, I invite you to reflect on a simple but powerful question: What difference can I make in a child’s life?

At Voices for Children, we believe the answer is: More than you can imagine.

With gratitude,

Margaret Bachrach

Chief Executive Officer
