Make Your Voice Heard! Youth Survey
If you are between the ages of 9 and 18, or in grades 6 through 12, CASAC needs your help.

The survey will only take a couple of minutes. Please take the time to answer these important questions today and sign up for our monthly drawing to win a $20 Target gift certificate.
CASAC is sponsoring its 4th annual multi-cultural, all-girl celebration to be held on June 7. This event designed to help Latina and non-Hispanic girls ages 9-14, their mothers, and other female caregivers to build self-esteem, mental health, decision-making skills, and assertiveness to prevent the abuse of alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drugs encouraging them to feel good about themselves. It is an opportunity for young girls to celebrate who they are with other girls and the adult women in their lives.
