Congratulations to our CASA of the Year, Lori Swain!

Lori is the kind of advocate every child deserves. She is always willing to take on a new case and a new challenge, forming meaningful connections with the children, families, and providers she works alongside. Her compassion, dedication, and ability to truly listen make an incredible impact on the lives of the children she serves.

One parent recently shared after Lori spoke with their child:
“He feels so much better after your talk… He must have felt heard. Thank you.”
Sometimes, being heard can make all the difference.

Lori’s thoughtful investigations, strong recommendations, and collaborative spirit continually help ensure the best interests of children are at the center of every case. She is respected not only by families and providers, but also by attorneys, court professionals, and CASA staff alike.

We are so grateful for Lori’s commitment, heart, and advocacy. She is truly an asset to our CASA program and so deserving of this recognition.

Congratulations, Lori, and thank you for all you do for CASA children!

This week, we had the honor of celebrating our incredible CASA volunteers at our CASA Appreciation Dinner.

To our advocates — thank you for showing up, speaking up, and standing beside children when they need support the most. Your compassion, dedication, and commitment make a lasting impact in the lives of so many children and families in our community.

We are truly grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for being the heart of CASA. 💙

You don’t have to foster to change a child’s life.

During National Foster Care Month, we’re reminding Geauga County that showing up looks different.

CASA volunteers are the ones asking,
“Is this really what’s best for this child?”

They speak up. They stay consistent. They don’t disappear.

And for kids going through some of the hardest moments of their lives—that matters more than you think. 💙

CASA Day in Ohio - raising awareness, connecting advocates, and standing up for children across the state ❤️❤️

CASA volunteers are dedicated to their role in advocating for their CASA children.

One provider commented, “I was impressed with the CASA just for taking the time out of his busy schedule to be a CASA volunteer, but really admired him for how he immersed himself in the case he was assigned.”

We had a great day at the Chardon Library Volunteer Fair sharing information about becoming a CASA volunteer! In celebration of National Volunteer Week, we’re especially grateful for the individuals who give their time to support children in our community.
