Jeanice Lee talks with Sharon Morris, Managing Director of Voices for Children of Riverside County, serving Riverside County, providing trained CASA volunteers to advocate for children in foster care. Morris discusses the organization’s programs, including recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers who advocate for children’s needs in court and daily life. Morris also shares information about volunteer training, case matching, and the organization’s mission to ensure children thrive, not just exist. She highlights the need for advocates for hundreds of children still waiting in the system. A powerful story about a child receiving glasses after a CASA’s advocacy shows the life-changing impact of volunteers. (SpeakUpNow.org)
