Children can have mixed feelings about going #BacktoSchool. Some are excited; others can feel anxious. A child or youth in foster care may have additional challenges. CASA/GAL volunteers get to know each child, so they can address concerns & advocate for them at home & at school.

Children & youth assigned a CASA/GAL volunteer have significantly higher levels of hope. A child’s hope has been linked to numerous positive outcomes such as academic success, overall well-being, increases in self-control, positive social relationships & optimism. #BacktoSchool✏️
