The Metro Atlanta CASA Collaborative (Metro Atlanta CASA) was formed in 2004 when Georgia CASA and Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb and Clayton County CASA programs banded together to launch a cooperative campaign designed to recruit, train and retain a CASA volunteer force large enough to meet metro Atlanta's growing needs, and make CASA volunteers the rule - not the exception - in child abuse and neglect cases.
Last year alone, more than 4990 children residing in the Metro Atlanta CASA Collaborative’s counties were in the state’s custody as a result of abuse and/or neglect. Over 1888 of those children were fortunate enough to have a CASA volunteer assigned to their case to ensure their best interests were being met. Over 62% of our abused and neglected children did not have a CASA volunteer to ensure they would not fall through the cracks of an overburdened system.
There are currently six programs that are members of the Metro Atlanta CASA Collaborative. Click on the program above that you are interested in to find out more about each of the participating metro Atlanta CASA programs. You can read about a featured staff member on the Staff Profile page.
