Details

Connecting Thetas to a project their sorority supports (nationally) to the CASA organizations in their community.


Theta learners will help their community CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) organizations find more volunteers and support for abused and neglected children where they live.


KARA is looking for Theta sorority members to connect with CASAs in their state to help CASA programs connect to free Google ad Programs, build their social media, and coach individual advocacy that will improve community awareness and participation.


Child Protection in the U.S. is struggling to keep abused children safe in every state. All CASAs need more community support, volunteers and public awareness for the children they serve.


Learners will be made aware of their community's Child Protection System and help grow awareness, volunteerism, and support for their state's CASA organization and the children it serves.


Kids At Risk Action is funding and delivering programs that help CASAs gain access to Google's Ad Grant program, connect to their community and increase the level of care abused and neglected children receive.

Deliverables

Learning about CASA's and their critical needs and understanding KARA's plan for filling those needs.

Learning about Google's Ad Grant programs and how they can benefit CASAs and the children they serve.

Regular KARA Zoom meetings to discuss strategy and monitor results.


Mentorship
