Have you ever thought about becoming a CASA Volunteer? NOW is the time to do it. We have a training class starting in June. We advocate for children of all ages but have a great need for volunteers to advocate for teens.

For more information visit our website at www.casapaulding.org or call our office at 770-505-0065.

Our next volunteer training class will be in June.

If you have ever considered becoming a CASA volunteer, now is the perfect time. There are children right here in Paulding County who are waiting for a CASA because we need more volunteers.

Call 770-505-0065 or go to www.casapaulding.org for more information about how you can make an incredible difference in a child's life.

I always learn so much from other directors across the state at our Georgia CASA meetings.

The 2024 Spring COPS Season is at an end. 💙

This amazing group of leaders is bringing out the best in their team, in CASA volunteers, and for children experiencing foster care in communities throughout the state. We love to hear about the impact they are making every day. Keep it up!!

Don't forget to join us at Texas Roadhouse in Hiram between 5:00-9:00 tonight. Wear blue for Child Abuse Prevention Month and tell them you are there to support CASA Paulding and kids in foster care!

Make a statement during Child Abuse Prevention Month by wearing blue to Texas Roadhouse (Hiram location) on Wednesday from 5:00-9:00pm. Dine with CASA Volunteers and other child advocacy champions. Pick up a free button at the CASA Paulding table to let everyone know you support children in foster care, and pick up a flyer at the door to show your server so 10% of the cost of your meal will go to help CASA Paulding serve abused and neglected children in our community. We hope to see you there!

We are so proud to have Angel Gemeleva to add to our list of highly qualified Volunteer Trainers. Our next class begins June 3rd. Find out how to become a CASA at www.casapaulding.org.

Ali and Heidi are spending another great week with these passionate people from across the state. These CASA training facilitators are ready for their next class of CASA volunteers. Woop woop!
