As we celebrate #PrideMonth, we also reflect that LGBTQ+ youth are overrepresented in foster care & may face unique challenges. CASA/GAL volunteers can provide guidance, support & a voice for these resilient young people. More volunteers are needed! casa.gal/volunteer ⁠

National CASA/GAL celebrates CASA/GAL volunteers & service providers who support family strengths to reunite separated children & parents. Join us this #ReunificationMonth in recognizing & supporting families on their path to reunification. casa.gal/volunteer

When a child is in the foster care system, reunification means they can safely return to their family of origin. We recognize the dedication of families, professionals & CASA/GAL volunteers working to make reunification a reality. casa.gal/volunteer #ReunificationMonth

During #PrideMonth & beyond, CASA & GAL volunteers are trained to advocate for LGBTQ+ youth in foster care, ensuring they have access to supportive services & safe homes where they can thrive. You can make a difference as a CASA or GAL volunteer today! 🌈 casa.gal/volunteer

A guiding principle for the @nationalcasagal member network is the recognition of the importance of family preservation &/or reunification. Every family's story is unique, & every journey towards reunification is worth honoring. casa.gal/volunteer #ReunificationMonth

Today, 370,000 US children are in foster care, many having experienced abuse or neglect. You can ensure they have highly trained volunteer advocates by their side by registering for #WalkRunThrive. casa.gal/walkrunthrive
