At CBC Bank, building strong communities means supporting the organizations that serve our most vulnerable neighbors. In this special CBC Connect "Community Connection" episode, we sit down with Sonia Robinson Johnson, Executive Director of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), to discuss the life-changing work CASA is doing for children in foster care.
This episode marks a meaningful step for the podcast as CBC Connect expands beyond banking topics to spotlight local organizations that strengthen our community.
A Volunteer-Driven Mission
CASA’s work is powered by community volunteers. These individuals complete specialized training and work directly with children in foster care while coordinating with caseworkers, courts, and support agencies.
Despite busy lives and full-time jobs, many volunteers step forward because they understand the impact they can have on a child’s future.
Without these dedicated volunteers, CASA’s mission would not be possible.
Community Partnerships Matter
Organizations like CASA rely on partnerships to increase awareness and support. Through CBC Bank’s Charity of the Month program, CASA had the opportunity to introduce its mission to more members of the community.
For nonprofits, visibility can be just as valuable as financial support. Community awareness helps organizations connect with volunteers, donors, and advocates who want to make a difference.
How You Can Help
There are several ways community members can support CASA’s mission:
- Volunteer as a CASA advocate
- Help raise awareness about the needs of children in foster care
- Support local nonprofits working to strengthen families and communities
Every act of support helps ensure that children in foster care have someone looking out for their best interests.
