On average, youth in foster care move four times within the span of three years. Our volunteers help provide much needed consistency and support to ensure they have what they need to thrive during this difficult time. To help us reach our goal of providing a CASA volunteer to every youth that needs one, we need your help! With just 10-15 hours a month, you can become a CASA and make a positive impact on a foster youth. Help us provide a trained advocate for every child who needs one – click here to sign up for a volunteer information session.

Feeling lonely this November? Have a party of one! Go to dinner by yourself, check out a movie, play a video game, but wrap it up and be ready to hang out with friends and share those stories of isolation at Long Story Short! Maybe you have some funny yarns of your solo adventures, cringey tales about attempted me-time, or whatever stories you want to share that the theme inspires in you! At Long Story Short, tell your story without notes in five minutes or less, in a fun environment with no pressure. Anyone can throw their name into our hat and be called upon randomly to share their story. Or you can just watch! Long Story Short follows the idea of a campfire, where we tell tales, bond and make friends, and pass the talking stick (ok, you come up to the microphone). Take Your Turn!
