Lexy Smith speaks with Quinci Castleberry, Dependency Court Manager for CASA of Yavapai County. CASA is an acronym for Court Appointed Special Advocates and is in every county in Arizona as well as nationwide. Castleberry shares how the program originated in Washington state when a judge realized that kids in foster care needed someone to speak on their behalf. Castleberry explains how a CASA is appointed to one sibling group at a time. Castleberry details how to become a CASA volunteer.
