CASA of Lexington has been recognized by the Human Rights Campaign for its treatment of LGBTQ youth. It’s the second consecutive year that Court Appointed Special Advocates, which works to end child abuse and neglect in central Kentucky, has received the certification. Ben Kleppinger is CASA’s director of communications.
“We actually earned the highest certification tier as an innovative inclusion organization, which means that we're doing everything we can. And we're working to do more to make sure that the children we serve are included, regardless of their identity and regardless of their background.”
