Advocate of the year: Lily Corzo
Lily Corzo began volunteering with CASA Youth Advocates in June
2021. One of her cases involved an 11-year-old boy named Fredo, whose
case was complex due to language barriers that made it very hard to
communicate with those involved.
Since Lily could communicate with Fredo’s family in Spanish, she was
able to pass along information to his teachers and others on his case.
“They were happy to hear from someone who knew the child,” she said.
“Letting them know English was Fredo’s third language helped them
understand some of his challenges.”
