A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained community volunteer appointed by a judge to speak for the best interests of an abused or neglected child involved in a juvenile deprivation proceeding. The ultimate goal of a CASA volunteer is to help make sure the child has a safe and permanent home. Troup CASA is a nonprofit organization that recruits, screens, trains and supervises communit
y volunteers. The CASA volunteer gathers information about the child's situation, attends court proceedings and makes recommendations to the judge so that the judge has the information to make a decision about the child's future. The CASA volunteer advocates for the safety, permanency and well-being of the child. CASA volunteers help to change a child's life for a brighter future.
