Change A Child's Story

A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer is an integral factor in a child's life in foster care. Alcovy CASA Volunteers serve children from Newton and Walton Counties. Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer spend an average of 8 months less in foster care. You can make that difference happen with just a little bit of your time each month.

Our CASA Volunteers do the following activities:

• Visit their assigned foster child(ren) a minimum of once a month.
• Communicate with people in the foster child's life to ensure the child is receiving appropriate support.
• Write recommendations for court hearings, usually held approximately every three-six months.
• Attend the court hearings, if possible, to support their foster child.

There are plenty of children that need you in Newton and Walton Counties!

All volunteers must complete a 40 hour training course, including classroom training and courtroom observation. Classes are held two to three times a year in person at our office in Covington.
