Volunteer Work
I volunteer at an organization called CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) where I advocated for a little girl in the foster system until she was adopted or reunited with her mother. It was a 2.5 year process, and she was just adopted into a wonderful foster family. I will stay in relationship with this little girl. I learned a lot about the court system and the foster care system through this amazing organization.
