Our Mission
The Mission of Southwest Georgia Court Appointed Special Advocates (SOWEGA CASA) is to recruit, screen, train and supervise volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children throughout Southwest Georgia.
Our Purpose
CASA volunteers provide a voice for children in court by making sure their best interests are considered by the courts, social service system, and community service providers; thus, assuring the child’s right to an appropriate placement and permanent home.
What is CASA?
A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is 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 dependency proceeding.
A CASA volunteer protects a child's right to be safe, to be treated with dignity and respect, and to learn and grow in the safe embrace of a loving family.
Did you Know?
- Every day in Georgia, 33 children are the victims of confirmed abuse or neglect.
- About 7,500 children, at any one time, are in state custody because they are unable to live safely at home.
