CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for children) is a non-profit child advocacy organization that speaks up for the "best interest" of abused/neglected children involved in deprivation cases at no fault of their own.
Our Friends of CASA program is great for community volunteers who want to share their time, gifts, and talents by helping with our Community Awareness/Fundraising Events. It allows you to give back while doing something you enjoy.

Mission Statement
To recruit, train, supervise & retain culturally responsive volunteers to advocate for the "best interest" of abused and/or neglected children in Houston County; one child at a time.
Description
Every year more than half a million abused and neglected children are in need of safe, permanent, nurturing homes. That's where CASA steps in. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) was created in 1977 to make sure the abuse and neglect these children originally suffered at home doesn't continue as abuse and neglect at the hands of the system. As trained advocates, CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to be a voice for these children in court. The result is that a child is placed into a safe, loving home where he/she can thrive. It is the CASA vision to provide a volunteer for each and every abused and neglected child who needs one.
