New faces

From staff members to board members to new CASA volunteers, we welcomed several new faces this year. Each person who becomes newly connected to the CASA of Kent County mission helps ensure our mission can continue to touch the lives of children and families in our community.

With your help, we welcomed 40 new advocates this year who will go on to provide best-interest advocacy for children who experienced abuse and neglect.

Expanding our impact

CASA service capacity expanded this year, achieving a record-breaking metric: 79 cases in one month. This number reflects the growth that CASA of Kent County has strategically invested in for the past several years. A higher number of children are receiving advocacy simultaneously than ever before.
