In the state of Georgia there are over 9,000 children in foster care. In our community, there are roughly 250-300 children in care. CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) is a local non-profit, volunteer organization that provides advocacy for these children. Currently our program serves 50% of the children in foster care in Clarke and Oconee Counties. Our goal is to serve 100% of the children and to serve them as soon as they come into foster care  You can help the children of our community.
