Our Mission
Enotah CASA’s mission is to mobilize community volunteers to advocate for abused and neglected children.
Our Vision
Enotah CASA’s vision is a North Georgia community in which every foster child has an advocate and the opportunity to thrive.
Established in 1999 to serve the Enotah Judicial Circuit in Lumpkin, Towns, White, and Union Counties, Enotah CASA is a volunteer-powered network of people committed to fighting for the safety and needs of abused and neglected children. Together, we act as their voice to ensure that they will have a nurturing, permanent home in which to thrive.
Enotah CASA is a member of the Georgia State CASA Association.
CASA History
In 1977, a Seattle Superior Court Judge named David Soukup was concerned about trying to make decisions on behalf of abused and neglected children without enough information. He conceived the idea of appointing community volunteers to speak up for the best interests of these children in court. He made a request for volunteers; 50 citizens responded, and that was the start of the CASA movement.
Today, there are more than 59,000 advocates serving in 954 state and local program offices nationwide.
CASA programs across the country are known by several different names, including Guardian ad Litem, Child Advocates and Voices for Children. Since the inception of CASA advocacy, volunteers have helped more than 2 million children find safe, permanent homes in which they can thrive.
