CASA Volunteers Needed

Volunteers are needed to speak up for children from broken places. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) volunteers are specially trained people from all walks of life, who advocate for the well-being of Georgia’s children that have suffered abuse and neglect. CASAs are appointed to a case by the Juvenile Circuit Court judge to speak in a child’s best interest in their foster care case. Lookout Mountain CASA will begin training new volunteers monthly Monday through Thursday. The volunteers will help speak for children in Walker, Dade, Catoosa and Chattooga Counties.  For more information and to obtain a volunteer application call 423-402-0843 or email lookoutmtncasa@gmail.com.
