“We are excited to graduate such a great group of caring individuals. 

We are confident they will make terrific advocates for our children in Franklin County.”

“We have a very diverse group of graduates this time.  We have them from Pacific, St.Clair, Labadie and everywhere in between.  They each have unique backgrounds ranging from retired school professionals to social workers to attorneys.  The CASA program is very fortunate to have them join our team!”  Glenda Volmert 

When talking to the newest graduates, Melissa quotes William Bradfield “There are those whose lives affect all others around them.  Quietly touching one heart, who in turn, touches another.  Reaching out to ends further than they would ever know.”

During Judge Tobben’s speech at the graduation he said, “I value the work of the CASA volunteers. I read their court reports and they do make an impact in the decisions I make”
