I Am for the Child Campaign

I Am for the Child Campaign Tools

The I Am for the Child campaign is an opportunity for all members of the CASA/GAL network to work smarter and more collaboratively, to create a national movement and reach our goal of serving every child.

Below you can find the first round of tools that we have created to help you garner the support of all the constituents with whom we need to cultivate relationships: donors; volunteers; local and regional foundations; companies; service organizations; and even the key policy makers and adjudicators who have so much influence on how well funded and effective CASA can be.

If you have feedback or suggestions for additional tools for future phases of this campaign roll-out, please let us know! Email campaign@nationalcasa.org.
