Advocate Training and Supervision

We recruit and train volunteers to serve as advocates for children in foster care. They are called Court Appointed Special Advocates or CASAs. CASA volunteers are assigned, by the court to serve as advocates for children who are in the foster care system. They are tasked with being an extra set of eyes and ears for the court. They investigate all aspects of the child’s case, including speaking with all involved parties. They make recommendations to the court as to what they feel is in the child’s best interest as far as their placement, the services they are receiving, etc.

Data
  • We ask team members to identify racial disparities in their programs and / or portfolios.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
  • We disaggregate data by demographics, including race, in every policy and program measured.
  • We have long-term strategic plans and measurable goals for creating a culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
