Nicole Koch from Voices for Children

Nicole Koch from Voices for Children spoke at the Kiwanis Club of Scripps Ranch’s July 16 meeting. Founded in San Diego in 1980, Voices for Children is a private, nonprofit organization that recruits, trains, and supports Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers who speak up for the needs and well-being of children in foster care. In 2015, Voices for Children expanded to serve children in Riverside County foster care. As the only agency designated by the courts to provide CASA volunteers in San Diego and Riverside Counties, Voices for Children’s CASAs play a crucial role in helping judges make the most informed decisions for children’s futures. Along with Nicole, a volunteer who has been a CASA to three children spoke of the rewarding experience she has had. Anyone interested in volunteering or learning more about becoming a CASA should go visit their website speakupnow.org
