Nonprofit that supports foster care fires its director for not supporting foster care. Who’d a’ thought?
“The Los Angeles court-appointed special advocates organization (CASA) parted ways with its leader last week, a prominent voice for racial justice in the child welfare system who grew up in foster care and has decried her dismissal.
Charity Chandler-Cole has led the local CASA program for the past four years. But in a message sent to its mailing list on June 18, CASA of Los Angeles stated that Cole, 39, was no longer working with the organization, and thanked her for her service.
A follow-up email sent to The Imprint and signed by three board members cited a need for a leadership that “fully aligns” with the nonprofit organization’s goals”
