We are delighted to share the wonderful news that we have hired a new Executive Director – Kelly Anderson. Kelly is thrilled to join Marin CASA and contribute to the vital work that Marin CASA provides for the foster youth in Marin County.

Kelly comes to Marin CASA with a deep commitment to community-based organizations that began in college, where she volunteered as a sexual assault crisis line counselor. Crisis line counseling remained part of her professional roles with rape crisis centers for another 20 years, directly supporting survivors through trauma and recovery.

Her career focus on non-profit leadership has also included raising the mission-critical funds that fuel essential programs like Marin CASA.

Kelly’s first priority is learning – about the County systems, the culture of this amazing organization, and the work our CASA volunteers do every day. During her first few months, she will be participating in pre-service training to build her knowledge base and is eager to hear directly from volunteers. She is planning virtual and in-person get togethers in her first months on board and encourages volunteers to take advantage of the chance to connect.

While joining Marin CASA is a new role for Kelly, she sees it as building on a strong base. Her commitment is that CASA will continue to prioritize the well-being of CASA youth, staff, and volunteers so this wonderfully compelling mission can continue to improve our community, one child, youth, or family at a time.

We are so proud to welcome a new leader who is passionate about our work and understands the life-changing difference CASA volunteers make. We are truly lucky to bring her on board.
