For years, the Judges’ Luncheon has provided Voices for Children a unique opportunity to recognize, thank, and learn from our San Diego Superior Court Juvenile Division judges who oversee the dependency cases involving our community’s youth in foster care. This year, we are looking forward to the opportunity to open the event to our entire community free of charge through a webinar format.

Tune in to learn more about the complexities of the dependency system, the impacts of COVID-19, and the critical role of our Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers. Joining us will be the Honorable Ana L. España, Presiding Judge of the San Diego Superior Court Juvenile Division, along with a panel of judges who work tirelessly on behalf of children in the foster care system. The panel will be moderated by the Honorable Lorna A. Alksne, Presiding Judge of the San Diego Superior Court. We will also hear from a CASA about their experience advocating for the rights and well-being of children in the juvenile dependency system.

This event is for our dedicated supporters, judges, community partners, CASA volunteers, and anyone who is committed to supporting the needs of our community’s foster children. We hope you will join us!
