Kenyon Martin, a 1997 graduate of Abilene Christian University, is the executive director of the CASA organization in Brownwood. We're a powerful team. District Judge Stephen Ellis initiated the effort to bring CASA to Brown County. For now, CASA's activities will be limited to Brown County, but it will eventually seek board members and volunteers from Mills County, which is also under the jurisdiction of Ellis' 35th District Court. Ellis will assign the volunteers to individual court cases.
CASA volunteers are guardians that are appointed by the court.
Then they make recommendations to the court. And they let the children know that they are important and that somebody is looking out for them. More volunteers are needed in Brown County to give children the individual attention they need. Volunteers must pass rigorous background checks, complete 30 hours of training and be willing to sacrifice numerous hours to the children, she said. E.W. Scripps Publications , All Rights Reserved.
