Affiliate Programs Across Georgia
These programs recruit, screen, train, and supervise CASA volunteers — specially-trained adults appointed by the court to improve a child’s experience in foster care. CASA volunteers provide compassionate, individualized attention to help each child find a safe, permanent home when reunification isn’t likely.
We’re working to give every child who experiences foster care in Georgia a CASA volunteer.
You can help us reach our goal!
“To give a child a CASA volunteer is to give them a voice. To give them a voice is to give them hope, and to give them hope is to give them the world.”

Today was the soft launch for Georgia CASA’s newest resource, a GAL Best Interest Advocacy Guide. CASA directors and staff had the opportunity to hear from its creators, Jerry Bruce and Angela Tyner, about the evolution, behind-the-scene drafting, and key concepts. Look for more to come in the weeks to follow.
An encore presentation will take place on Tuesday for all interested CASA staff.
In partnership with Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, we were able to recently provide supplies to keep our CASA affiliates safely at work advocating for the best interests of children in foster care. Supply kits included thermal temp readers, wipes, hand sanitizers & masks, as shown by staff at CASA Cherokee The Children’s Haven.
