Volunteer Conference 2025

Dependent Children’s Services Division  2025 Volunteer Conference!

The 2025 conference brought together CASA and FCRB volunteers from around the state for a day of education, discovery, and relationship building.  DCSD volunteers matter to children.  They make a difference in the lives of families.  Their words and actions are inspirational and make our system better.
