A Court Appointed Special Adocate (CASA) volunteer advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children. Bringing urgency to a child’s needs, both in and out of the courtroom, CASA volunteers promote safety, permanency and well-being through independent recommendations. As community partners in the child welfare system, CASA volunteers increase abused and neglected children’s access to services (including educational and health needs), promote safety, and advocate for timeliness and permanency for children involved in juvenile court proceedings. CASA volunteers are independent advocates and provide individualized attention for children in a massive state system.
CASA Ogeechee is always recruiting volunteers to serve as CASAs in Bulloch, Screven, Jenkins and Effingham.
