  • Mission

    We believe every child deserves a safe, permanent home. Therefore, we recruit, screen, train, and supervise volunteers to provide ongoing advocacy to children in Juvenile Court dependency cases. These Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) work with abused and neglected children in the Towaliga Juvenile Court counties. CASAs advocate on behalf of the child’s best interests until the child is in a safe and permanent home.

    About Us

    As a CASA volunteer you become a voice for a foster child. You will get to know the child's likes and dislikes as well as what their wants and needs are at the moment. Gather information from anyone who can shed light on the child’s situation - teachers, foster parents, family members, physicians, etc.t. As a volunteer you will attend court proceedings and make an informed, independent recommendation to the judge to improve the child’s experience while in foster care and his/her overall well-being. You will bring a sense of urgency to the child’s needs and promote safety. As a volunteer you will advocate for timeliness and permanency for children involved in juvenile court proceedings as well as remain involved until the case is permanently resolved to keep the focus on the child.
