How ProKids Can Help You

When you have a question or need to share a concern about your case, your first contact is your CASA Manager. Each CASA Manager works on a team and if your own manager is not available, you can call the office at 513-281-2000 and ask for the team leader.

If you need envelopes, business cards, fax cover sheets, explanatory brochures, gifts or gift cards for your ProKids child or your ProKids family, you can email us or call 513-281-2000.
