March is Social Work Month!

Each year in March, we shine a light on Social Worker Appreciation Month. We work closely with Brown County Human Services and greatly appreciate the incredible dedication and hard work of our social workers, who play a vital role in the lives of children and families in our community. Our gratitude for social workers is unwavering and we share in their commitment to ensure the well-being and safety of children.

As always, we extend a heartfelt thank you to our dedicated CASA volunteers. Their commitment to advocating for children's best interests inspires us every day.

As we recognize the importance of our partnerships and the impact of our volunteers, we reflect on the impact of the CASA mission in Brown County over the past 20 years. During the last five years alone, caring CASA volunteers have advocated on behalf of 557 children in Brown County, making a difference and lasting impact.

With ongoing community support, we will continue this critical work alongside so many talented and dedicated people who care deeply about children and their futures! Together, we are changing stories!

Congratulations to our Newest CASA Volunteers!

New CASA volunteers who completed pre-service training this February were officially sworn in on March 7 by Judge Tammy Jo Hock and Judge John P. Zakowski! 

We are excited to welcome 19 new CASA volunteers and are grateful for their commitment to provide a strong voice and critical advocacy for children in need in our community!

Thank YOU for your Support during Give BIG Green Bay

A BIG thank you to everyone who supported Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Brown County during Give BIG Green Bay! Because of YOU, we raised $52,771, not including the match from Green Bay Packers Give Back.

Support from caring people like YOU sustains our work to recruit, train, and support CASA volunteers to advocate on behalf of children who have experienced abuse and/or neglect and are under court protection in Brown County.

Special thanks to the Greater Green Bay Community Foundation and thank YOU for helping to make an impact in our community!
