Bill SnyderMentor Kansas spokesperson, and Former Head Coach of the Kansas State Football team.
"During my 44 years working with young people, I observed the benefits they derive from having a caring adult in their lives to provide them support, guidance and knowledge. CASA volunteers do just that. CASA is an essential component of helping our youth through a very trying time in their lives and I’m very proud to have CASA agencies serve as partners to Kansas Mentors. The service CASA volunteers provide our youth is invaluable."

U.S. Senator Jerry Moran"CASA is recognized in Kansas and across the country as a model for watching over and protecting children in the court system. What makes CASA so successful is highly motivated volunteers and their ability to devote the time and attention needed to help one child at a time. The advocates and volunteers for CASA make a lifelong difference for children."

Kellie E HoganDirector of Children's Advocacy Kansas Legal Services
"In my work as a Guardian ad litem (GAL) attorney, CASA is essential. CASA volunteers have 1 to 2 cases, therefore giving them more time to gather information that often GAL’s cannot. Having a dedicated volunteer greatly improves the outcomes for children in child abuse and neglect cases."

Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt"CASA volunteers provide a critical service to Kansas children going through incredibly difficult situations. I am proud to support their mission of supporting caring, local volunteers to advocate on behalf of children in need."
