Subject: A Personal Note: Speaking Up for Children in Foster Care

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share an organization and a mission that is very close to my heart.

[Insert your personal connection here — e.g., “For the past few years, I have volunteered as a CASA…” OR “Recently, I attended an event for Voices for Children and was deeply moved by the stories of resilience…” OR “As someone who cares deeply about the youth in our community, I have seen firsthand how a stable, caring adult can change a child’s trajectory…”]

Because of this personal connection, I am incredibly proud to support Voices for Children, and I wanted to reach out to encourage you to become a volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA).

Every day, children are removed from their homes and placed in foster care due to abuse, abandonment, and neglect. The numbers right here in our own backyard are staggering:

• San Diego County: More than 3,500 children spend time in foster care each year.

• Riverside County: More than 5,000 children spend time in foster care each year.

(Note: Delete the county that does not apply to your network, or leave both.)

With the support of a CASA volunteer, a child in foster care is significantly more likely to succeed in school, receive vital services, and find a safe, permanent home.

As a CASA, you work one-on-one with a child or a group of siblings. You get to know them personally, gather important information from teachers and professionals, and advocate for their best interests regarding their education, health, and overall well-being.

If you are worried that you don’t have the right background, please don’t be. Voices for Children provides all the training you need, plus a dedicated staff supervisor to offer resources and support throughout your entire service.

With just 10 hours a month, you can be the consistent, caring presence that changes a child’s life.

If you have ever considered volunteering or are looking for a highly meaningful way to give back, I would love for you to explore this opportunity.

• Sign up for an upcoming Volunteer Information Session.

• Share this information with your friends and family.

If you have any questions about the organization or want to chat about my experience with them, my door is always open. Let’s help speak up for our community’s most vulnerable children.

Warmly,

Hi Team,

At [Company Name], we are incredibly proud of the dedication, problem-solving, and drive you bring to your work every day. Today, we want to share a unique opportunity to channel those same skills into our local community and change a child’s life.

Right now, thousands of children in the San Diego and Riverside County foster care systems are navigating the hardest moments of their lives. Often moving between placements and schools, these children urgently need a consistent, caring adult in their corner.

That is why we are encouraging our team to learn more about Voices for Children, a local nonprofit that recruits and trains Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs).

What is a CASA? A CASA is a volunteer appointed by a judge to step into the life of a child in foster care. You spend time with them, build a trusting relationship, and report back to the court to ensure the judge understands the child’s true needs—from their favorite school subjects to the challenges they are facing in their current placement.

Why this is an ideal opportunity for full-time professionals:

• Manageable Commitment: It takes just 10 hours a month to create a brighter future for a child.

• Focused Impact: Unlike social workers who manage heavy caseloads, a CASA has the unique privilege of focusing on just one child or sibling group at a time.

• No Experience Necessary: You do not need a background in law or social work. Voices for Children provides comprehensive training before you begin.

• Dedicated Support: You are never alone in this process. You will be paired with a dedicated staff supervisor who will offer resources and guidance throughout your entire service.

Giving back shouldn’t mean burning out. Being a CASA is a highly focused, deeply personal way to make an essential difference while maintaining your professional and personal life. If you have the heart to help, we highly encourage you to take the first step. Visit speakupnow.org to learn more and sign up for a virtual, no-obligation Volunteer Information Session.

Thank you for everything you do to make [Company Name]—and our community—a better place.

Warmly,

Just 10 Hours a Month Can Change a Life.
You bring your best to your career every day, managing projects, meeting deadlines, and driving results. But what if your most profound, lasting impact happened outside of working hours?

Right now, thousands of children in the San Diego and Riverside County foster care system are navigating the hardest moments of their lives. Removed from their homes due to abuse, abandonment, or neglect, these children often move between placements and schools without a single, consistent adult to rely on.

They need an advocate. They need you.

Be the Essential Difference
Through Voices for Children, a nonprofit founded in 1980, everyday professionals are stepping up as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). As the only agency designated by the courts to provide CASAs in San Diego and Riverside Counties, we train volunteers to speak up for the needs and well-being of children in foster care.

What does a CASA do?
You are appointed by a judge to step into the life of a child. You spend time with them, build trust, and report back to the court about their progress and needs. You help the judge understand not just a case file, but a real child—their favorite subjects, their passions, and why they might be struggling.

Maximum Impact, Manageable Commitment
Think your schedule is too packed to make a real difference? Here is the reality: It only takes 10 hours a month.

A CASA has the unique privilege of focusing on just one child or sibling group at a time. It is a highly focused, deeply personal way to give back that fits directly into the busy life of a full-time professional.

Fully Supported Every Step of the Way
You don’t need a background in law or social work to change a child’s trajectory. If you have the heart to help, Voices for Children has the tools you need:

Comprehensive Training: We equip you with everything you need to know before you ever step into a courtroom or meet your child.

Dedicated Supervision: You will be paired with a dedicated staff supervisor who will offer continuous resources, guidance, and support throughout your entire service.

Make your time count where it matters most.
Use a fraction of your month to create a brighter, more secure future for a child in foster care.
