Two STAR Zooms on Educational Advocacy in September
In September, as children and youth head back to school, the STAR team will host two webinars on educational advocacy. It is every CASA volunteer’s responsibility to inquire about whether a child’s educational needs and goals have been identified and met. An individualized approach to educational advocacy is dependent on each child’s educational level, abilities and challenges. We are excited to share valuable information and resources to support our CASA supervisors and volunteers who step up every time to ensure children in foster care receive the education and services they deserve.
Please join us for both webinars: College Knowledge for CASA Advocacy and a Local Program Panel Discussion on Educational Advocacy.
