Fulton County CASA

~Speak up for a child~

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 or neglected child involved in a juvenile court deprivation proceeding. The ultimate goal of a CASA volunteer is to help make sure the child has a safe, permanent home.

Every day in Fulton County, children are thrust into the child welfare system through no fault of their own. Many are victims of physical abuse, emotional abuse and sexual abuse. Others, neglected or abandoned by their own parents. Often these children become the victim of an overburdened system with a complex legal network of lawyers, social workers, and judges who are too frequently overworked to give thorough, detailed attention to each child. That is why CASA volunteers are so important. They have the time to focus only on the child's needs - now and for the future.
