38 Snohomish County CASA Volunteers Receive President's Volunteer Service Award

Thirty-eight volunteers from Snohomish County were awarded the President's Volunteer Service Award for their invaluable service through the Richmond Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program. The event emphasized the critical role of volunteers in supporting children facing challenging circumstances. Notable recipients included Mohamed Bughrara, Heidi Scott, and Nadine Laszlo, who have dedicated countless hours to advocating for children's rights. The CASA program relies on such volunteers to ensure that every child has a voice in legal proceedings. This award not only honors their contributions but also aims to inspire greater community involvement in volunteer efforts.

The impact of these volunteers extends beyond individual cases, fostering a more supportive environment for at-risk youth. In a time when community engagement is crucial, their recognition serves as a reminder of the power of volunteering. Programs like CASA illustrate how dedicated individuals can drive meaningful change in society.
