🌟 Meet Our October Advocate of the Month: Carrie Yanez! 🌟 Carrie Yanez has made an incredible impact as a Court Appointed Special Advocate, supporting youth in the Orange County foster care system with compassion and dedication. “It’s so important to have CASAs who speak the native language of the kids who are being served. It’s also important to be able to relate from a cultural standpoint. It allows you to be more empathetic and more aware of any kind of barriers that might impede the wellbeing of the child.” Carrie Yanez Read about her inspiring journey and the difference she’s making in the lives of children. 💙 👉 Discover Carrie’s story: https://lnkd.in/grcNjJQX #AdvocateOfTheMonth #CASAOC #FosterCare #YouthInFosterCare #CASA #VolunteerSpotlight #Inspiration #MakeADifference #ShowingUpIsExtraordinary
