On any given day across the country, there are over 424,000 children and youth in the foster care system and roughly half do not have a CASA\/GAL volunteer advocate working on their behalf. Caring volunteers are needed to support the hundreds of thousands of children who need a consistent advocate in their lives.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/childsstory\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3547 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"439\" height=\"247\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story-1200x675.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/nationalcasagal.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/National-CASA_GAL-Change-a-Childs-Story.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/a>With 950 state organizations and local programs nationwide, National CASA\/GAL supports and promotes volunteer advocacy for children and youth who have experienced abuse or neglect. Each volunteer, extensively screened, trained and supported, is appointed by a judge to advocate for a child\u2019s best interest in court. In 2020, the number of CASA\/GAL volunteers decreased nationwide by 12.5 percent, mainly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Closed offices, delayed court proceedings, limited in-person visitation and virtual hearings became more prevalent. CASA\/GAL programs quickly pivoted to host virtual volunteer recruitment events, online pre-service trainings, and virtual swearing-in ceremonies for new volunteers in their communities nationwide. CASA\/GAL programs trained 20,205 new volunteers in 2020, compared to 22,739 trained in 2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 pandemic has turned things upside down for children and youth entering the child welfare system,\u201d said National CASA\/GAL Association for Children CEO Tara Lisa Perry. \u201cDuring uncertain times, the consistency of a trusted adult who listens, checks in, follows up, and holds the system accountable makes a huge difference. We urge caring adults to get involved so children, youth and families can continue to thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The national campaign is an extension of National CASA\/GAL\u2019s previous brand awareness campaign launched in 2019 that encourages audiences to learn more about the organization and how they can become a CASA or GAL volunteer. The national campaign will run at least through December 2021 on social channels, television, cinema-lobby and office-building screens, radio stations, and at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL). Not only is ATL the busiest airport in the nation, but the busiest in the world, with over 110 million passengers in 2019, making this a strategic choice to build and increase brand awareness. There are plans to launch the campaign in several markets across the country this fall.<\/p>\n<p>The campaign reflects National CASA\/GAL\u2019s commitment to diversifying its volunteers, more specifically, males and African American male volunteers to reflect the diverse children it serves. In addition to English ads, Spanish-language ads will run this fall to reach bilingual Hispanics and Spanish-speaking audiences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor\u2019s Note<\/strong>: Ads are available by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/sh\/odylmkikefb9dlo\/AADT0EThyh9G0HbVtfFkqYtga?dl=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICKING HERE<\/a>, and a representative is available for interviews.
