Help us to congratulate our four new official CASA volunteers! These wonderful ladies all had their swearing in ceremonies last Friday - two in Boone and two in Callaway.

As we have celebrated #PrideMonth this June, we also reflect that LGBTQ youth are overrepresented in foster care and may face unique challenges. Heart of Missouri CASA volunteers are there to provide guidance, support, and a voice for these resilient young people. More volunteers are needed, especially from our LGBTQIA community!

CASA Volunteer Julie Schupp has had 2 cases since 2014. She has been on her current case since 2017, with a young man who is now 18. Julie has made a huge impact when advocating for him to move out of residential and into a traditional foster home. She is currently assisting him, along with his foster parents, navigate life skills, job/educational opportunities, and eventually how to live on his own. Congratulations to Julie for 10 years of advocating for her CASA kids. She has truly made a difference in their lives.
