PURPOSE
Savannah Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) recruits and trains volunteers to advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
ABOUT
Since 1991, Savannah CASA has recruited, trained, and appointed Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Their best-interest advocacy helps ensure that children are safe, have a permanent home, and have the opportunity to thrive.
CASA volunteers are appointed by Chatham County Juvenile Court judges to advocate for children’s best interests. They stay with each case until it is closed and the child is in a safe, permanent home. We serve children from birth through twenty-one years old.
Volunteers work with legal and child welfare professionals, educators, and service providers to ensure that judges have all the information they need to make the most well-informed decisions for each child.
Our best-interest advocacy is driven by the guiding principle that children grow and develop best with their family of origin if that can be safely achieved. Most children we work with are in foster care, but some are with their families of origin. And most children who leave foster care do so to return to their families.
Are you ready to join our team of volunteers and change a child's story today? Find out more.
Savannah CASA is proudly financially supported by the Georgia Department of Human Services, the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, Chatham County, Bank of America, United Way of the Coastal Empire, National CASA, Georgia CASA, the Frueauff Foundation, and other direct public support.
