Olivia K., 1-year CASA Volunteer Hometown – Phoenix, AZ Education – Olivia studied sociology and English at Yonsei University in Korea. Free time – Olivia loves rock music, so Austin’s live music scene suits her well. She also enjoys playing tennis and other sports. Working with CASA – Olivia has worked with CASA for almost a year and is on her first case working with a young boy. Being proactive – Olivia was searching for volunteer opportunities when she found CASA. She felt being an advocate would be really meaningful, and appreciated the training that went into it and the fact that volunteers are sworn-in to their official roles by the court. She wanted a challenging volunteer role that she could learn from, and once she began her training, she knew that CASA was right for her.
“No matter how resilient children are, they need their very own advocate in a situation like this. I almost feel like we shouldn’t be sleeping, we need to do something for these children now.”
