About this organization
Mission
Georgia CASA strengthens and supports court-sanctioned, affiliate CASA programs that empower community volunteers who advocate for abused or neglected children and contributes to advancements within the child welfare system.
About
CASA volunteers serve as the eyes and ears of the court. They gather information from anyone who may be able to shed light on the child's situation. The CASA volunteer attends court proceedings and makes an independent recommendation to the judge about what is in the child's best interests -- bringing a sense of urgency to the child's needs. As a community partner in the child welfare system, a CASA volunteer increases a child's access to services, promotes safety, and advocates for timeliness and permanency for children involved in juvenile court proceedings. The CASA volunteer remains involved until the case is permanently resolved to keep the focus on the child.Georgia CASA's mission is to develop and support affiliate CASA programs throughout the state. Currently, 46 affiliate CASA programs exist, serving 151 of Georgia's 159 counties and 48 of 49 judicial circuits. Georgia CASA strives to provide its affiliate programs with the services they need so all children can receive the highest quality of advocacy possible from their CASA volunteers. CASA programs work directly with CASA volunteers as they recruit, train, screen and supervise them.
