At CASA of New Hampshire, volunteers come from diverse backgrounds—but all are united by a simple mission: to give a voice to children who need one most. This week, we’d like to introduce you to two extraordinary advocates who bring passion, insight, and unwavering dedication to their roles.

Keri Boyd: Embracing the Unexpected

When life throws you a twist, Keri Boyd strides forward—embracing advocacy with compassion and courage. Despite life’s unpredictable turns, she answered the call to become a CASA volunteer, stepping up to speak for the wellbeing of children navigating complex court situations. Her story reminds us that sometimes, the path we didn’t anticipate leads us exactly where we’re meant to be.

Judith Kumin: A Lifelong Advocate

After a 35-year career, Judith Kumin stepped into retirement with purpose—not with rest. She became a CASA volunteer, driven by a deep desire to support children in crisis. Judith’s dedication and life experience bring stability and perspective to every case she touches, proving that the end of one chapter can ignite a meaningful new beginning.

Why Their Stories Matter

What these advocates share is more than background—they model what it means to choose empathy, not merely comfort. Whether it’s navigating unexpected life changes like Keri or transforming retirement into renewed purpose like Judith, they bring life to CASA’s mission: help ensure every child in the court system has a caring, consistent advocate.

Volunteers bring insights, encouragement, and advocacy to judges, families, and most importantly, children who need someone to stand with them.
