FRIENDS OF IOWA CASA
Friends of Iowa CASA is a 501c(3) organization whose primary mission is to educate Iowans about the CASA program, and provide supplemental funding for CASA programs throughout the state of Iowa. They are currently looking for new Board members.
Thetas have had a constant presence on the Friends Board since 2017 and we would like to help this continue. The Commitment is one (1) Board meeting a month lasting an hour. One (1) Meeting is the annual in-person gathering in Des Moines (usually August). There is outside work to do-- some subcommittee work, strategic planning, etc. (typically 2-5 hours a month). If you are not ready to be a CASA, this is a highly rewarding organization to be part of. You get to see your work...work!
Iowa's CASA program has been absorbed by the Health and Human Services (HHS) department, as a result of recent efforts by the Governor to streamline services. HHS has stated they are wholly committed to the CASA program, and recognize that there are things they need to do that cannot be funded under the current budget. This is where Friends steps in--fundraising, lobbing, and facilitating other educational activities throughout the state. HHS needs us more than ever!
If you have any questions or wish to volunteer- please contact Nikki Heyd.
