We are so very thankful to have Sheri as one of the wonderful members of our Board of Directors. Not only is she a rockstar superintendent, Sheri is making an amazing impact in Frankfort, strengthening our presence in the community and ensuring more children have a voice and an advocate when they need it most.

Each year, public school districts in Kentucky are required by law to evaluate their superintendents. On Monday, the Frankfort Independent Schools Board of Education gave Superintendent Sheri Satterly the highest rating possible. https://state-journal.com/2026/06/11/fis-board-gives-satterly-exemplary-rating-in-superintendent-evaluation/

Happy Birthday to one of our very favorite people, Gail Margaret Wright! 🎉

Before joining CASA of the Bluegrass, Gail spent years serving children through the Danville Schools. She has devoted so much of her life to helping kids learn, grow, and succeed. If you've spent any time around Gail, you know that caring for children isn't just something she does. It's who she is.

We're lucky to have her as one of our Volunteer Coordinators. She knows what it means to show up for a child and make them feel seen, heard, and valued.

Gail is the kind of person who always has time to listen, always knows how to encourage others, and somehow keeps everything moving forward with a smile. Our volunteers, staff, and the children we serve are better because of her.

Join us in wishing Gail a very happy birthday today! We hope your day is filled with all the love, laughter, and happiness you so freely give to everyone else. You deserve a birthday as wonderful as you are. ❤️💙

Our CASA volunteers are truly shining lights in our communities, and today we're celebrating one of the brightest!

Please join us in congratulating the incredibly talented, kind-hearted, generous, and dedicated Paisley Eggersman on being named 1st Runner-Up at Kentucky National American Miss. We are so proud of the way she represents herself, her community, and the spirit of service that makes such a difference in the lives of others.

Congratulations! Your CASA family is cheering you on every step of the way. 💙

Did you catch Jody on Cable 10 - Community Television this morning? 📺 She stopped by to talk about what it takes to become a CASA volunteer, some exciting upcoming events, and how everyday people can make a life-changing difference for children in our community.

Missed this summer's training class? No worries! We may have just kicked off our latest training, but there's always another class in the works. If you've been thinking about becoming a CASA, now is the perfect time to take the first step.

We're especially looking for volunteers in the Frankfort area. Children in our community are waiting for someone to speak up, show up, and stand by their side.

Visit our website to learn more and apply for an upcoming training class. Your voice could change a child's story. 💙

She’s (finally) sworn in! 🤣 A tiny detail—like an expired driver's license—may have delayed the process, but nothing was going to stop Carmen Freeman from becoming a CASA volunteer.

After a little extra paperwork and a trip to renew her license, Carmen is officially sworn in and ready to advocate for children who need a voice.

Congratulations, Carmen! Now go out there and change lives.

No, really, this is your last call!

Our first summer training class is packed with excited new volunteers (we’ve got 6 incoming from Boyle County and 2 from Franklin County already signed up) but we’re still missing a little hometown representation in a couple of key areas.

Where are my Anderson County and Mercer County folks?

If you’ve been thinking about it, this is your moment. Apply now, join us, and help change a child’s story right in your own community.

One important topic covered during CASA training is understanding the difference between poverty and neglect.

Future advocates learn:
✔ how financial hardship can impact families
✔ why lack of resources does not automatically equal neglect
✔ how trauma, housing instability, food insecurity, and stress affect parents and children
✔ how CASA volunteers advocate objectively while keeping the child’s best interests at the center

Training helps volunteers see the full picture with compassion, empathy, and understanding.

Today is the final call for the June 10th training class applicants! Apply here: https://ky-bluegrass.evintosolutions.com/VolunteerApplication
