SFCASA - Speak Up for Youth in Foster Care - Virtual Info Session!

Event Details

Will you be the voice for a child in foster care? 

"My CASA volunteering gives my life MEANING and is also FUN.  I can schedule it to suit my calendar.  My CASA youth and I jointly choose what to do, so we both have fun. What else am I doing (work, exercise, movie-going, hanging with friends, travel, hiking, biking, cooking, etc.) that could possibly be as meaningful and satisfying as creating an authentic, warm connection with a young person in need of acceptance?"   Monica, current CASA Volunteer

A CASA is an advocate for an abused and neglected child in foster care. In a life full of uncertainty and endless change, you can be one consistent and caring adult.

Are you ready to become a CASA? 

The Winter training begins on 1/23/2024. You must be 21 or older to apply. Please visit: https://www.sfcasa.org/volunteer

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is hosting a webinar on elder justice networks and faith communities on January 17, 2023, from 11:00 am  – 12:30 pm PST. Register now!

As trusted institutions, they can share consumer protection information in ways that are grounded in the values of their faith communities and connect people to local services when they need help.

Speakers include:

  • Deborah Royster, Office for Older Americans, CFPB
  • Lisa Schifferle, Office for Older Americans, CFPB
  • Jenefer Duane, Office for Older Americans, CFPB
  • Paul Greenwood, Retired Deputy District Attorney, San Diego County
  • Janel Doughten, B'nai B'rith International
  • Rev. Laura Queen, Church Pension Group of the Episcopal Church
  • Sean Scheller, Church Pension Group of the Episcopal Church

This webinar is designed for:

  • Professionals in faith-based organizations
  • Elder justice professionals, including law enforcement, legal aids, adult protective services, agencies on aging
  • Financial institutions

This webinar is free of charge and open to all. If you cannot participate live, the webinar will be recorded and available on the CFPB Special Topics in Elder Justice Playlist.
