Please join the newly established Early Childhood Institute (ECI) on Mon., Oct. 28, from 3-4pm in SH 331 for a discussion with Fred Ferrer, CEO of Child Advocates of Silicon Valley, which is an organization whose purpose is “To recruit, train and support volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) to work one-on-one with foster children, providing critical emotional and educational support, ensuring each child’s needs are met and their voice heard while navigating the court dependency system.”  Child Advocates are a consistent adult presence in the child’s life, implementing a “trauma-informed, strength-based, child-centered, asset-building approach.”

Coffee and snacks will be served! Let us know you’ll be there – RSVP here.
