Are you interested in expanding your recruiting bandwidth and connecting with diverse groups to serve your mission? Then, Clergy, CASA & Community (CCC) is for you! This innovative model helps CASAs to engage the faith community relationally and sustainably. We currently have 23 CASA programs implementing CCC in their area and would like to invite you to consider participating in 2024.

We recently hosted a Zoom information session to learn more about being a CCC Program. View the Zoom recording here and enter the password: quW5u?72

If your organization is selected to participate, you will receive guidebooks, promotional materials, training, ongoing support, coaching from the TX CASA Faith-Based Liaison, and mentors from other CASA programs who have succeeded with this model. New Clergy, CASA, and Community programs will begin onboarding in March 2024. They will work collaboratively with Texas CASA to successfully develop a plan to recruit from faith communities in your area. If your program is interested in participating, please complete this application by January 29, 2024.

Contact Faith-Based Liaison Keri McDonald with any questions or for further information.
