Discover the stories behind CASA
Every child deserves a champion – and behind each child we serve there are remarkable humans dedicating time, heart, and hope to make a difference. Throughout 2025, we are excited to share Humans of CASA of Kent County, a yearlong campaign (inspired by the viral Humans of New York project) highlighting the stories of the people who make our mission possible.
