At CASA-EP, we recognize the challenges youth in foster care face—and we stand beside them with consistent advocacy, mentorship, and care. Our volunteers make all the difference, ensuring each child feels seen, supported, and valued. If you’ve ever considered becoming a volunteer—or know someone who would make a great advocate—now is the perfect time to learn more: 

A huge thank you to Board Member Tracy Kable with The Kable Team Realty and everyone who helped make our CASA-EP Bike Drive a success! Together, we collected and loaded bikes that will bring joy, confidence, and a sense of freedom to the children we serve. Your support means the world to us—and to them.

With a decade of experience in juvenile abuse and neglect cases and a passion for building strong communities, Robert Gillette brings deep knowledge and heart to his new role. Learn more about his journey and why he believes CASA plays a vital role in keeping families connected.
