Will you be the voice for a child in foster care? 

"Serving as an Educational Rights Holder has turned out to be some of the most rewarding work I've done in my life. It is so satisfying to see the difference that even just a few hours a month can make in a child's life, whether you are advocating for tutoring, drafting behavior goals, or reading stories together. The kids with CASA/ERHs are some of the most vulnerable kids in the system, and I've learned so much about all the little things that can fall through the cracks. I've taken tremendous pride in my youth’s accomplishments both inside and outside the classroom. Working with my little dude has brought so much joy into my life, affirmed my convictions about the power of education, and renewed my sense of purpose." 

 - Tristen, Current SFCASA Educational Rights Holder
