A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a trained community volunteer appointed by a judge to speak up for the best interests of an abused, neglected or abandoned child involved in a juvenile court deprivation proceeding. Bringing urgency to a child's needs, both in and out of a courtroom, CASA volunteers advocate for safety, permanence and well-being for children through independent recommendations.

Georgia Court Appointed Special Advocates, Inc. (Georgia CASA) is a nonprofit organization which establishes and supports affiliate programs across the state that recruit, screen, train, and supervise CASA volunteers. Currently, 48 CASA programs exist in Georgia that are affiliates of Georgia CASA and members of the National CASA Association.
