Advocates

Moving the Right Direction

Hi there! If I haven’t already had the opportunity to meet you, I’m Leah Thibodeau. I’ve been serving as an advocate coordinator at CASA of the Fox Cities since January of 2021. Over the last 15 months, I’ve had the opportunity to realize the impact of a CASA, and I couldn’t be more proud to be part of this team. I’m finding my move to the role of Volunteer Engagement and Training Specialist to be bittersweet. I was unprepared for the bitterness of stepping back from my cases. I am invested. I care deeply about the children and am connected to the advocates. I take comfort in knowing that I’m still available as a resource to those advocates, as well as the coordinators who will now be leading those cases.

This change is sweet because I’m excited to bring more than a decade of experience in volunteer engagement to this role. Working alongside our volunteers has given me a unique perspective that will serve the entire organization well as we work to bring up our newest advocates.
