Value of CASA

Our Children, Our Community

Each year, hundreds of children in Newton and Walton counties enter foster care due to abuse or neglect.
They live in our neighborhoods—she may be the quiet girl in your child’s class who has moved homes multiple times, or he may be the lonely boy at the park who never joins the game.

These children deserve dignity, safety, and a permanent home when reunification isn’t possible.
Alcovy CASA ensures a compassionate, trained volunteer advocates for each child, amplifying their voice and improving their foster care experience.
