Volunteer ProfilePamela Berger, Rockdale CASA, Conyers, GA
Pamela Berger, the 2011 CASA Volunteer of the Year in Georgia, has been a dedicated CASA volunteer with Rockdale CASA for 11 years and has been a strong, persistent advocate for over 38 children. She prepares comprehensive CASA reports to the judge detailing her independent assessment of each case. She has also proven her ability to research and expose concerns about the children she serves that are not always immediately apparent to the local Department of Family and Children Services. One case Pamela had for six years involved two siblings who were adopted, then returned to the local Department of Family and Children Services since the adoptive parents decided they did not want to keep the children. There was not a CASA program in the county at the time, so Pamela asked to be assigned as a CASA volunteer for the children. She remained dedicated to the children and traveled regularly throughout that part of the state to advocate for them. Her efforts resulted in the siblings being placed in a loving home. The children know, without a doubt, that she will always be there for them. Additionally, Pamela helps in recruiting and training new CASA volunteers and promoting the CASA program in the community. Over 2,100 CASA volunteers, like Pamela, advocate for abused and neglected children in Georgia, promoting safety, a permanent home and overall well-being for each child.
