"What Straw stirred in me wasn’t sadness, it was deep reflection. Reflection on untold stories. On the weight of mental health struggles across communities. On the broken systems that overlook, fail, or forget the very people they were created to support." Yesterday, LaDonna Collins led the CASA network and friends in a discussion about the new Netflix film, Straw. Today, she shares some reflections with us on the film and how being a consistent, kind presence in the lives of others can make all the difference.
CASA volunteers are everyday people with a special heart to serve the best interests of children experiencing foster care. In Georgia, thousands of amazing CASA volunteers serve children and families in crisis every day. One way we honor and acknowledge this exceptional work is through our annual Awards of Excellence. Volunteers are nominated by local CASA programs for our annual Karen N. Sibley CASA Volunteer of Year Award and the recipient is honored at the Annual Conference Luncheon every August. Let's meet this year's nominees for Volunteer of the Year!
