A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained community volunteer appointed by a judge to speak up for the best interests of an abused, neglected or abandoned child involved in a juvenile court deprivation proceeding. Bringing urgency to a child's needs, both in and out of a courtroom, CASA volunteers advocate for safety, permanency and well-being for children through independent recommendations.

Georgia Court Appointed Special Advocates, Inc. (Georgia CASA) is a nonprofit organization which establishes and supports affiliate programs across the state that recruit, screen, train, and supervise CASA volunteers. Georgia CASA is committed to maintaining a network of well-administered, affiliate programs that operate independently with mutual accountability, resulting in the highest level of advocacy for all of Georgia’s deprived children. Currently, 47 CASA programs exist in Georgia that are affiliates of Georgia CASA and members of the National CASA Association.
