Voices for CASA Children, a nonprofit to promote and support volunteer advocacy for children who have experienced abuse or neglect, is inviting the public for an informal coffee chat April 9 to learn how to make a difference in a child’s life.

The session is at 10 a.m. at the Press Coffee, 355 E. Germann Road, Gilbert.

CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocate, volunteers are everyday people who advocate for the best interests of children living in foster care. With just a few hours per week, the volunteers can help bring hope and change a child's story.

This session is part of CASA Volunteer Week, a statewide initiative centered on the theme #BeTheirVoice, aimed at raising awareness about the CASA volunteer role and encouraging community members to step up and advocate for children living in foster care.

Throughout the week, Voices for CASA Children will host special events for CASA volunteers and the public, providing opportunities to learn, engage and take action.

There is no commitment by participating in the conversation.

No commitment—just conversation!
