STAR Monthly Zoom & Upcoming Webinars
On August 18, STAR Zoom will join the Program Directors for a special presentation from CASA of Galveston County. They will share a new Bingo Game they created to support youth in learning about their Rights in Foster Care! The program received a grant from the Texas Bar Foundation, and one of their requests was that the resource be shared with the greater Texas CASA community. We are thrilled to help facilitate sharing this fantastic resource with the wider network! This is for CASA Supervisors and Program Directors only. Register here.
In September, the STAR Team will welcome in the new school year with two Zoom webinars focused on educational advocacy. We will first welcome the Director of Student Success Initiatives from Lonestar College on Tuesday, September 16, to discuss CASA educational advocacy for college-bound youth in foster care. See more and register below. Then, on Monday, September 29, we will host a local CASA program panel to discuss best practices for educational advocacy for every child in foster care. Registration link for September 29 webinar coming soon.
Register Now for College Knowledge for CASA Advocacy
Please mark your calendars for a special STAR Zoom on Tuesday, September 16 from 12:00 – 1:00 p.m., when we will welcome Jill Rivera from Lonestar College for a presentation on College Knowledge for CASA Advocacy. The presentation will cover college knowledge for youth in foster care, including timelines and financial assistance, as well as how to support youth in decision-making for a successful transition to college. This information is so important to CASA educational advocacy for older youth, so we are inviting all CASA staff and CASA Volunteers to this special presentation.
