Hot for Volunteers in July – Join the Movement!

Everywhere we go, (everywhere we go…)

People want to know, (people want to know…)

Who we are? (Who we are?)

So we tell them! (So we tell them!)

Keep the Growth Through Volunteers!

Our agency has been so fortunate this year! New counties, new opportunities, new volunteers! This time Cass County has something to celebrate! On June 11, 2025, Judge Wessel officially swore in Randi Cowell as a CASA volunteer at the Cass County Courthouse.
