Her history with the organization will help her ease into the new position. Keith spent a year at CASA of the High Plains as a Bachelors of Social Work Practicum Student for Washburn University. In the midst of her internship, Keith was hired by CASA of the High Plains as the Transitional Age Youth Specialist.

“I may be young, but my passion and hard work for the cause give me the edge needed for the role,” Keith said. “I look forward to bringing a new perspective to the organization.”
