Join us next Thursday for a virtual Real Word Speakers Panel — a powerful evening featuring young adults who’ve experienced foster care and the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) who helped them achieve their dreams.

🌟 Meet the Speakers:

✨ Vanessa entered foster care at 8 and spent 13 years in the system. With nearly a decade of support from her CASA, Laura, she graduated from UCLA and is now on the path to law school.

✨ Josh was matched with his CASA, Tim, in 2016. Their bond helped guide Josh through the uncertainty of foster care. Today, he's earned a master’s degree and works full-time.

✨ Anthony spent a third of his life in care. Thanks to CASA Daniel, he found a permanent home with his great-grandmother and graduated from UCLA. Now, he advocates for other at-risk youth.

🎙 Moderator Luis and his brother stayed together while in foster care because of CASA Art’s tireless efforts. They were later adopted by a teacher, and now Luis uplifts the voices of youth like him.

💬 Hear their stories of resilience, growth, and the lasting impact of having someone in their corner.

📅 Don’t miss this inspiring event on Thursday, May 29, 2025, from 6:00 p.m.–7:30 p.m. PT! RSVP today 👉https://buff.ly/wGDGZPm
