Interested in becoming an advocate?
No superpowers are required. Just a powerful voice to speak up for children and youth in foster care.
You form strong bonds through outings, spending time together, and listening. When these children face challenges in life or in court, you can be there with kindness, support, and hope for the future. Become a voice for the voiceless.
Become a CASA Hero of Hope!

🎧 Welcome to the CASA F.A.M. Podcast!
✨ In this episode, we’re joined by Fabiola Ramirez, a dynamic storyteller, social media expert, and community advocate who has made a lasting impact in Fresno. From reporting the news to shaping the city's digital presence, Fabiola shares the inspiring journey that led her from the newsroom to leadership roles in media and community outreach. She opens up about the challenges she faced pursuing higher education and a career in journalism, her passion for mentorship, and why giving back is at the heart of everything she does.
✨ As the MC for CASA’s 4th Annual Chef Cook-Off, Fabiola also gives us an exciting look at what’s in store for this year’s event, how she prepares for hosting, and why CASA’s mission to support foster youth is so important to her. Plus, we chat about her love for fashion, fitness, and—since it’s a food event—her ultimate favorite and least favorite dishes! 🍽️
