Are you passionate about making a difference in the life of a child? Join the DeKalb County CASA Program as Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) and become a powerful voice for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
As a CASA volunteer, you will be the eyes and ears for the judge and the consistent caring adult in a child's life while they are in foster care. Volunteers visit with the child, gather information, and advocate for the child's best interests.
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 our Program
- Understand the training and time commitment
- Discover how your advocacy can impact a child's life
