I volunteered as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) for the County of Orange. My official duties in this program were to represent a child in the foster care system in court and to provide a consistent source of support to that child as he moved from one foster home to another. I was assigned to a 12 year old boy with no family support and a strong distrust of adults, particularly women. I continue to remain in close contact with him, and he is now a successful mortgage professional living on his own and going to college. CASA
