Change a Child's Story

Flexible Schedule | Covington, GA 30014

A CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer is an integral factor in a child's life in foster care. Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer spend an average of 8 months less in foster care. You can make that difference happen with just a little bit of your time each month. Alcovy CASA serves children from Newton and Walton Counties in Georgia. Our CASA Volunteers do the following activities: Visit their assigned foster child(ren) a minimum of once a month. Communicate with people in the foster child's life to ensure the child is receiving appropriate support. Write recommendations for court hearings, usually held approximately every three-six months. Attend the court hearings, if possible, to support their foster child. There are plenty of children that need you in Newton and Walton Counties! All volunteers must complete a 40 hour training course, including classroom training and courtroom observation. Classes are held two to three times a year in person at our office in Covington. Check us out on Facebook to see how we are making a difference in Newton and Walton Counties! Fill out a Volunteer Application on our website, www.AlcovyCASA.org
