Advocacy for Older Youth Portal
The online portal reintroduces resources developed by Texas CASA to support local CASA program staff and volunteers in focusing on trauma-informed, effective ways to build connections for youth in Permanent Managing Conservatorship (PMC).
The portal is broken into resources and tasks by age groups, but the information can be used at any time and for any older youth in foster care, particularly those in PMC.
