ProKids

WCPO 9 recently sat down with our Executive Director, Tracy Cook, and CASA Volunteer, Carmen Schrand, to talk about what it really means to be a CASA Volunteer—and why our community needs more advocates.
Check out the segment at the link in our bio!

Tracy Cook is the executive director for the Cincinnati-based nonprofit ProKids, which helps connect volunteers as court appointed special advocates for abused and neglected children.

The nonprofit reports about 3,000 children move through Hamilton County's child protection system each year — roughly double the number the organization saw when Cook first volunteered with ProKids in the early 1990s.

Yesterday 40 ProKids CASA Volunteers visited the C.H.E.C.K. Clinic at Cincinnati Children's Hospital. Kids are seen here when they enter the child protection system and between every placement- frequently with their CASA. Thanks for having us!

Walmart Cincinnati - Ferguson Rd has certainly raised the bar for our back-to-school backpack event- they came in with $25,000 worth of school supplies for not only the children we serve, but all children in the system. WOW! Game changer!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

It's a great time to join ProKids! Check out the open positions at: www.prokids.org/about/employment/.

Keep those kiddos safe and enjoy America's 250th birthday! Happy Fourth! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
