Juvenile Court of Cobb County/CASA

CASA volunteers serve as the eyes and ears of the court in child abuse and neglect matters. They gather information from anyone who may be able to shed light on the child's situation. The CASA volunteer attends juvenile court proceedings and makes independent recommendations to the judge about 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 child's case is permanently resolved.
