CASA of Kent County is excited and honored to receive the Emerging Leaders United (ELU) microgrant from the Heart of West Michigan United Way. Thanks to the ELU fund, CASA received $3,000 to support our program’s growth to serve 20 additional children this fiscal year.
On May 16, CASA’s executive director, Stephanie, and development coordinator, Sam, attended a Coffee in the Community event hosted by the ELU committee. They were able to network with other attendees, share about CASA’s mission of advocacy, and learn more about the other grant recipient ImmiGreatness.
We are so grateful for this opportunity, not only to fund our mission, but to connect with this group of local professionals committed to empowering youth in our community and investing in a more equitable West Michigan.

As a prospective CASA volunteer, you’re about to embark on a transformative learning journey. Here’s what you can expect from our comprehensive training program.
I’ve often heard CASA volunteers referred to as superheroes. After all, they’re at the forefront, advocating for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. But calling them superheroes suggests they have a special set of powers that allow them to swoop in and tackle complex challenges with extraordinary, superhuman abilities. That’s not the reality.
Being an informed community member will better equip you to advocate for vulnerable children in our community. Subscribe to our email list to stay up to date on CASA of Kent County news, stories, events, and more. We promise not to overwhelm you with too many emails!
