Cindy Hestad
Program Director
Cindy started with CASA for Kids in the fall of 2016 as a CASA Advocate. After finding out how fulfilling it was to research the case and advocate for children’s needs in and out of the court room, she took the leap to become an advocate supervisor to help more children in Washington County in 2018. Brainstorming and investigating ways to assist children to heal and grow in an ever-changing world continues to challenge and motivate her to continue.
