CASA Messaging Book 2025: Speaking in One Voice

We have developed the CASA Messaging Book to help all programs speak in the same, strong voice. By having a consistent message across the network, we can maximize CASA awareness and better reach and engage current and new volunteers, sponsors, employees, board members and community partners, as well as the children and families we work with. We hope that this Messaging Book will establish a common CASA language that we can all use moving forward.

Recruitment Bounty: Tip of the Month

Start a Food Truck Friday tradition and partner with a local food truck on Fridays. Set up a CASA information table next to the food truck and talk to diners about the great work of your CASA program. You could also ask the food truck to do a profit share with you for the time you are there. Be sure to promote the event on social media and have the food truck share it on their social channels. Check out how CASA of Walker County does Food Truck Friday in the link below.

Texas Foster Youth Justice Project Aging Out Guide

This guide covers important life topics that youth exiting foster care at age 18 need to consider, providing them with essential knowledge and available resources. Some of the topics include the legal rights youth have while in care and what steps to take if those rights are violated.
