Sarah Fink, Director of the Porter County CASA Program

Sarah began volunteering with the CASA program in 2011 and was later hired as Staff Advocate, working in that capacity until her recent transition to Director of the Porter County CASA Program.  She replaced Claudia Clark who retired in December 2016 after working more than 20 years with Family & Youth Services Bureau. 

“I am grateful to be working with such committed and terrific staff members and volunteers who care deeply about a child’s right to be safe, and treated with dignity and respect.”  Sarah and her husband, Joe, have raised four children in the Valparaiso community over the last twenty years.  She holds a master’s degree from the Eastman School of Music, and declares one of her greatest joys to be performing music with her own kids, or watching them perform, since they are also all musicians.  Sarah says along with her passion for music and the arts, she has also always had a passion for social justice and children’s rights issues.  “We learn so much from the children whose stories we come to know, and it is a life-changing experience for all of us to serve and support them.”
