Last month, 32 recruiters from 28 local CASA programs joined Texas CASA in Austin for a one-day workshop, The Science of YES, hosted by Strategic Network Support Director Dennise Jackson and Campaign Marketing & Media Manager Lindsey Lee. The Science of YES explored how the brain makes decisions to say yes and what that means for volunteer recruitment. Attendees dived into brain-based principles that influence motivation, trust, and commitment, helping recruiters understand why people choose to step into advocacy and how to apply these insights in recruitment conversations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe energy, collaboration, and thoughtful engagement throughout the session made it a truly meaningful experience,\u201d said Dennise. \u201cThe workshop explored how people make decisions and what helps someone move toward the brave \u2018yes\u2019 of becoming a CASA volunteer. Together, we connected the science behind decision-making with the heart of our mission.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you to all of those who attended our workshop! We are immensely proud to have your partnership and to share in a commitment to this work. We hope you left with new insights, renewed confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to get the brave \u2018yes\u2019 that will change a child\u2019s life and their families forever. <\/p>\n\n\n
