CASA of East Tennessee watched proudly as five new advocates were sworn in at Knox County Juvenile Court.

These fantastic individuals completed 30 hours of training, court observation, mentorship, and court report writing practice.

This group is made up of four volunteers and CASA’s new Advocate Supervisor, Lisa Givonetti. We asked Lisa to tell us how she felt about getting sworn in at Knox County Juvenile Court and she said,

I am honored to be able to say that I am a CASA in three counties now! Each county and court is different and poses different challenges. I am excited to be learning about Knox County and to get to work with all our amazing volunteers.

The entire CASA of East Tennessee team is so grateful for the passion and dedication of these new advocates and we look forward to witnessing the impact they will make on Knox County children.
