The document describes a new Peer Coordinator Model developed for Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) programs. The traditional 1 staff member to 30 volunteer ratio required unsustainable funding levels and led to issues with volunteer retention. The Peer Coordinator Model addresses these issues by having experienced CASA volunteers take on coordinator roles to provide support to 5-7 other volunteers each. This reduces staffing needs, improves volunteer retention, and allows more children in foster care to receive advocacy from a CASA volunteer.

24 project 2015
It is 24 Project’s motto not to refuse therapy for a child just because they can’t afford therapy, or do not have a medical aid. And therefore we strive to partner with other companies and organizations to effectively use financial resources to plan and provide services that meet the needs of the children within our community.
We, as professional counsellors, strive to reduce the negative impact of stressful or traumatic life events and situations that affect the development, health and well-being of our children, youth and community. We embrace the value of community upliftment as a healing modality as we work to enhance the best possible growth and development of communities, children and youth through assessment, intervention, prevention, support, and education.

You know that telling stories about the work you do is critical to engaging stakeholders and raising money—so you probably tell a lot of stories. There are some incredible people doing amazing things in your program, but are your stories powerful enough? Do they explain your impact and compel others to take action?

The trust between the franchisor and the franchisee is very in order for both of to be successful and to prevent problems between the two the in future. In the article Trust: Key to Successful Relationship explains the importance of the trust between the franchisor and the franchisee issues can come up there is not any type commutations between the two. One of the statements in the article mentions that it important for the franchisor to review the marketing material provided potential franchisee to make sure the franchisor can and will deliver on the promises that are made in those materials. (Modell, 2010).Just like any type of agreement or advertisement where a company has to back up a service or a product, the franchisor has to standby the statements and promises that were in the material if not that could be some issues where that would cause a lack of trust between the franchisor and the franchisee which can result in legal problems hurting the reputation of the franchisor.

“Trust must be earned; it is not a given”
Trust is essential in any relationship. Trust is not given it is earned. When a relationship of any kind begins the actions of each person or group depicts the direction of the trust. Trust is build by working together and learning each other’s perspectives. Trust has many contributing factors. I think the number one component of trust is honesty and integrity. Honesty makes building trust easier. It provides openness and a point of establishment to know each other and their type of actions. In te being stages of a relationship trust is not easy because you don’t know the other person or group. Some people have alternative motives or hidden agenda that can be harmful to the other person. During the time of building a relationship it is important to give a little trust to provide the opportunity for it to be built. When in any relationship I believe we have to give a little to get a little. Ultimately you have to give trust to earn trust and vice versus.

"Trust is one of the most important elements of a franchisor/franchisee relationship. Without trust, there is no way to ground the relationship, as there will not be effective communication or effective collaboration." (Whiteside, 2010). Trust is the foundation for the whole relationship. If there is not trust between the franchisor and franchisee then there will be break downs in the communication and the collaboration. If the communication breaks down then neither side will know what the other is doing then things will not get accomplished. Without trust the business will suffer because the franchisee will not believe that the franchisor has their business's best intentions in mind. Trust is what holds the relationship together and without it there will be no relationship.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

Peer Network at CASA
- 1. The Peer Network A revolutionary approach for CASA
- 2. Court Appointed Special Advocates are highly specialized volunteers
- 3. who advocate for the best interest of children in foster care.
- 4. National CASA requires a 1 to 30 ratio of full time staff to volunteers
- 5. In Lane County, there are over 1,000 children in foster care.
- 6. and there was NO WAY
- 7. that the organization could secure sustainable funding to support the 30 to 1 staffing ratio in order to provide a CASA volunteer for every child.
- 8. There were issues with 1 to 30
- 10. Volunteer retention became reliant on personal versus organizational based relationships.
- 11. Changes in staff impacted volunteer retention
- 12. Volunteers hesitant to ask for help because staff had so many volunteers to support.
- 13. Hundreds of children were stuck in the “system” without the powerful advocacy of a CASA
- 14. So, we created the Peer Coordinator Model
- 15. The Peer Coordinator Model addresses all the issues from the 1 to 30 model by leveraging the expertise of CASA volunteers who have “coaching” type skills
- 16. . CASA volunteers who do not want to continue to take on cases and are seeking a new role within the organization are trained as a Peer Coordinator (PC)
- 17. A PC is a critical part of a trifecta (staff,PC and CASA volunteer)
- 18. Staff support 10-15 PCs who are supporting Staff support 10-15 PCs who are supporting 5-7 CASA volunteers
- 19. The traditional 30 to 1 model would require the organization to employ 30+ full time CASA Supervisors
- 21. The Peer Coordinator Model cuts that staffing need in half.
- 22. Peer Coordinator Model Solutions
- 23. Less funding required to meet the need
- 24. Volunteers are connected to more people within the organization. So, retention rate increases
- 25. More Children Receive Advocacy Volunteers receive better support because they are a part of smaller team
- 26. Increased return on investment because volunteers have another way to leverage their skills to support the mission.the
- 27. More Children Receive Advocacy from CASA now
- 28. Thanks
