The KARA Forum

Guardian ad-Litem Program (CASA) Minnesota

Kids At Risk Action (KARA) is planning our 2nd annual KARA Forum, “Brutal Truths” that will focus on the Guardian ad-litem program. We want to work with guardians in the community to help and support them in their mission to help children in the child protection system. We have set up a Google Group, called “KARA’s Guardian ad-litem Action Group” for members of the Guardian ad-litem program to let KARA know what support you need and how Kids At Risk Action (KARA) can assist you in your work as a Guardian ad-litem. We, in turn, want to let you know that your work is appreciated and valued! The 2nd KARA Forum and our Google Group, “KARA’s Guardian ad-litem Action Group,” is to be a sounding board for you, and a place for you to come together and let your voices be heard.
