Are you looking for a meaningful way to help children in our community? Or perhaps you have already heard of CASA and want to know if the program is a good fit for you?
Please join staff and volunteers of Richmond Court Appointed Special Advocates ("CASA") for an informal coffee at the home of one of our supporters. You will have the opportunity to learn how CASA volunteers advocate for abused and neglected children in Richmond City courts. Two current volunteers will also be there to share their experiences and answer questions.
Our next training class begins October 17. Click here for additional information.

Children love stories. But did you know that reading to young children not only increases their academic skills, but teaches them skills they need to be successful in life? When coupled with planned activities, stories help develop their social and emotional competence, strengthen their relationship with the storyteller, teach healthy coping skills, minimize the impact of trauma, provide the opportunities to learn how to manage feelings in a healthy way and provide the foundation for children to face life's ongoing challenges with confidence and skill. In short, Storytime helps build resilience.
What you will get from this training: The knowledge and skills to enable you to train a wide population of parents and professionals who work with children, a complete curriculum with suggested stories and activities, numerous handouts and materials for parents, and a comprehensive list of books selected to build resilience skills.
Target Audience: Managers, supervisors and coordinators of parent educators, social workers, therapists, in home providers, librarians, and others who work with children.

Betsy Harris Joins SCAN's Board of
Directors
Betsy Harris, head of Client Services at
Richmond Capital Management, joins SCAN as a new member of the Board of Directors this year. She first heard about SCAN when Executive Director Jeanine Harper came to her office to speak about the work SCAN is doing in our community. "Jeanine tells such a great story of what SCAN does, and how they work to coordinate the needs of children in our community. You could tell immediately SCAN is really making a difference," said Betsy.
As Betsy begins her first year on SCAN's Board of Directors, she expects a primary responsibility will be to spread the word. "Tell friends and family about the wonderful work SCAN is doing, and how they can help support children. Once you make people aware, that turns into more support for SCAN," said Betsy.
Earlier this year, Betsy attended the 5th anniversary celebration of SCAN's Circle Preschool. "I was able to talk with staff and those involved with the preschool who are working with these children every day," said Betsy. "I was really able to see the magnitude of what the Circle Preschool does, and how this preschool can really change a child's life and give them opportunities they may not have had."
