Idealist describes
"Essex County CASA- Court Appointed Special Advocates, is an independent ,court authorized, non profit which trains volunteers to promote the welfare of foster children in Essex County,NJ. Volunteers are appointed by the family court to gather information about a child's needs while in foster care and to serve as the "child's voice in court". Volunteers meet regularly with the child in their foster placement, gather information about the child's circumstances, interview all concerned persons (relatives, teachers, etc), monitor compliance with court orders and make recommendations to the court"
I have been a CASA volunteer for over a year now and I could personally tell you I love it. It is not easy but so worth the effort. If anyone is interested in some information you could request an application and information packet, contact:

this brings me back to my theory that I was meant to nurture due to my environmental factors.
Webster defines Nurture as
1 : training, upbringing
2 : something that nourishes : food
3 : the sum of the environmental factors influencing the behavior and traits expressed by an organism
