Atlanta CASA Court Appointed Special Advocate: An Atlanta Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) VOLUNTEER is a trained community volunteer who is appointed by a judge to advocate for an abused or neglected child in juvenile court deprivation proceedings. The Atlanta CASA advocates for each child to be placed in a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible. The Atlanta CASA also makes independent recommendations to the court for services that focus on meeting the needs of each child. Atlanta CASA volunteers are volunteer advocates for children in Fulton County Foster Care.
Activities:
● Visit the child.
● Gather independent information about the child to make recommendations to the court in the child's best interest.

● Advocate for the child in the community.
● Identify potential resources within the family and community to meet the child's needs.
● Maintain focus on the child until permanency is achieved.
● Ensure the court knows the child's wishes.
Qualifications: The main qualification is a sincere concern for children. The volunteer must be a mature adult with good verbal and written communication skills. An Atlanta CASA volunteer must be able to attend all court hearings. The volunteer must be able to commit to the program for at least one year or, preferably until permanency is achieved.
Requirements: The process of becoming an Atlanta CASA volunteer requires a written application including four personal/professional references, a criminal records check and a federal fingerprint check. The minimum age for becoming an Atlanta CASA volunteer is 21 years of age.
A personal interview will be conducted by a staff member. The volunteer must complete forty hours of required training, which may include court observation. The fully trained and screened volunteer will be sworn-in by the juvenile court judge prior to the assignment of his or her first case. An Atlanta CASA's appointment lasts until a case reaches permanency.
Training and Supervision: Every volunteer must complete a 40-hour comprehensive training program. The pre-service training program developed by National CASA and adapted by Georgia CASA is offered through the local Atlanta CASA office. The comprehensive training includes: informational session, interview, 30 hours of in class training, and eight (8) hours of court observation. Atlanta CASA volunteers are also provided with on-going training by the Program Director. Program staff supervises Atlanta CASA volunteers.
Time Commitment: We ask for Atlanta CASA volunteers to commit to at most 18 months of service. Typical cases last 12-18 months and we would like for our Atlanta CASA volunteers to stay until completion. The Atlanta CASA volunteer is required to spend 10 hours a month on activities related to their case. Activities in the 10 hours include, but are not limited to, visiting the child, completing court report, meeting with individuals in child's life, and attending court.
Essential qualities include the ability to be objective and non-judgmental.
