Chattahoochee CASA

Our FY 2024 Annual Report is here!

This work would simply not exist without the selfless commitment of our community volunteers who give of their time, talents, and resources to support local children experiencing foster care. Check out all the ways Chattahoochee CASA shows up in the community and how YOU can get involved!

Entering foster care can disrupt a child's education and create new educational needs or concerns. Part of the role of a CASA volunteer is to champion the educational needs of the children we serve, both in court and in the school system. A CASA volunteer advocates to improve a child's present situation while also planting seeds for a successful future.

We want to send a huge congrats to our 2024 CASA Volunteer of the Year, Ms. Karen Moore! Karen was sworn in as a Court Appointed Special Advocate on 3/30/2017 and quickly accepted her first case of five siblings on 4/12/2017. All five children were in need of services, with the two youngest children requiring more extensive interventions to include therapeutic, behavioral, and academic services. If there was a need, Karen saw to it that it was addressed. She collaborated with a host of community partners including the Department of Family and Children Services, therapist, hospitals, and school personnel. Karen demonstrated that no task or conversation was too difficult when it came to the needs of her CASA kiddos, and most importantly, she never let a “no,” stop her from advocating for them.
Through Karen’s fierce advocacy efforts, the three oldest children achieved permanency through adoption on 7/12/2021 and the fourth sibling found her forever home through adoption on 3/9/2023. When three more younger siblings entered the Department’s custody on 9/26/2023, Karen immediately asked to be appointed to their case and recommended family time between all eight siblings as she understood the importance of sibling connection. On 3/11/2023, the fifth sibling achieved permanency through adoption.
Karen is a CASA because “children are our most precious resource and it should not hurt to be a child. I make the difference!”

It's back to school season!! 🎒✏️🏫
For some kids this fills them with excitement, and for others it may fill them with feelings of uncertainty. For children experiencing foster care, heading back to school can carry a lot of weight.

Children in foster care “weather many storms” but having a CASA Volunteer in their corner provides an “umbrella” of support for the child to feel seen and heard. Feeling heard also provides a sense of security, as they know that their thoughts and feelings are being taken into consideration. Anyone can provide a listening ear! If you’re interested in being an “umbrella” of support please click the link in our bio to learn more and don’t forget to complete an application! ❤️💙☂️🌂☔️

Shout out to our male volunteers! A positive male figure in the life of a child has been found to contribute positively to the child’s academic and social development. By providing support, guidance, and mentorship, male CASA volunteers can help foster children build confidence, develop a sense of belonging, and feel encouraged to reach their full potential. Men who volunteer as a CASA advocate for children in foster care can provide a much needed source of stability and security. We love to see the men of our community share their strength and wisdom with the next generation! ❤️💙❤️💙

Happy Birthday to our COMPASSIONATE and DEDICATED CASA Volunteers!🎂🎉
You each truly make a positive impact in the lives of children experiencing foster care.

A huge part of a CASA volunteer's role is listening to the child or sibling group in foster care for whom they are advocating. When a child in foster care feels like their opinion and feelings matter, it gives them a sense of belonging and acceptance. Feeling heard also provides a sense of security, as they know that their thoughts and feelings are being taken into consideration. Anyone can provide a listening ear!
