CASA Paulding is seeking individuals in the community with a passion to make a difference in the life of a foster child! CASA Volunteers are appointed to advocate for abused and neglected children by reviewing case information, meeting with the child, interviewing family, and working with caseworkers. CASA Volunteers attend all virtual court hearings and provide written reports with recommendations for the child's best interest. CASA Volunteers complete a 30-hour National CASA Curriculum and 10 hours of court room observation in Juvenile Court for training.

Mission Statement

The mission of Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courts. We promote and support quality volunteer representation for children to provide each child a safe, permanent, nurturing home.

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.
