Program Director Denee Borchardt Featured On The Faces of Fort Worth

Via The Faces of Fort Worth: “I grew up in Fort Worth with my parents and younger brother. I attended Paschal HS and graduated in 1996, then entered college at Texas Wesleyan University. I attended TWU for 2 years before transferring to Tarleton State University where I graduated in 2001. I began my child welfare career at CPS around 2001 as an investigator at the Child Advocacy Center. I worked high profile cases dealing with severe physical and sexual abuse. In 2005, I promoted to Investigative Supervisor, where I supervised 6-8 investigators. In 2007, my father passed away and I resigned from DFPS for 3 years. In 2010, I returned as an Investigative Supervisor until my departure to CASA of Tarrant County in 2016. I have worked as the Program Director at CASA, supervising 5 supervisors, 20 specialists and 400+ volunteers. I truly feel that my life’s purpose is to ensure families receive the support and resources they need to best care for their family. I want to make the most out of my one sacred life, and feel that giving back to those with limited opportunities and resources is my way to do this.”
