CASA
TAKES A FIELD TRIP
 Volunteers from SCAN's CASA
Program recently visited the Natural History
Museum to see the exhibition Race: Are We So Different?
The exhibit explores the concept of race from
scientific, historical, and cultural perspectives,
challenging visitors to ask questions, think
critically and talk about the issue and their own
experiences. CASA volunteers gather for trips,
trainings and other events throughout the year
as part of their
in-service commitment to further develop
their skills as advocates for children in
Alexandria and
Arlington.
