CASA serves both El Paso and Teller counties and the following volunteer sessions, both in-person and virtual, are scheduled for later this month and in February.

"The main thing a CASA volunteer does, is they become that one consistent adult for a child, these children have gone through chaos and trauma and the CASA volunteers come by and they stand by them," she said. Kahn added that the need for volunteers is evident. "About 800 kids a year, just in El Paso and Teller counties are referred to CASA, so we really depend on kind-hearted people, who love children to come in and help us meet the needs of all those kids," she said.
