    Description

    Become a CASA Volunteer and Make a Difference

    Are you passionate about making a difference in the life of a child? Join the DeKalb County CASA Program as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and become a powerful voice for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

    As a CASA volunteer, you will serve as the eyes and ears of the court and be a consistent, caring adult in a child's life while they are in foster care. Volunteers build relationships with the children they serve, gather important information, and advocate for their best interests in court and beyond.

    No prior experience is necessary, just a heart for children and a commitment to making a difference.

    Ready to Learn More?

    Join us for our Virtual Volunteer Information & Orientation Session, where you'll:

    • Learn about the role and responsibilities of a CASA volunteer
    • Hear about the history and mission of the DeKalb County CASA Program
    • Understand the training process and volunteer time commitment
    • Discover how your advocacy can positively impact a child's life
    • Have your questions answered by DeKalb CASA staff

    Please note: While the orientation session is virtual, many volunteer activities, including visits with children and court-related responsibilities, take place in person.
