Welcome to Children's Voice: CASA, Inc.

Empowering Voices, Changing Futures

Children’s Voice: CASA, Inc. is a dedicated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in Douglas County, Georgia, with a mission to recruit, train, and support community volunteer advocates who stand up for the best interests of children experiencing foster care due to abuse or neglect. Empowered by the courts, our Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers are the critical advocates children need in courtrooms and communities, ensuring their rights and needs are met while they are in foster care.

CASA volunteer advocates remain committed to each child until they find a loving, permanent home. For many, their CASA volunteer advocate is one of the primary, stable, caring adults in their lives during uncertainty.

We’re here to raise awareness, inspire action, and create lasting, positive change for the children we serve. With your support, we can transform the lives of these children and give them the hope and future they deserve.

Please explore our website to learn more about how you can get involved, whether through donations, volunteering, advocacy, or simply spreading the word. Together, we can advocate and elevate the voices of children who need us most.

Thank you for visiting. We look forward to connecting with you and making a lasting difference—one child, and family at a time.

How Volunteering Helps Your Job Search

It’s a tough job market out there, and for anyone searching for a new position, new network or entirely new career, the hunt can be difficult. Employers are looking for more than just a good employee; they want someone with experience, good people skills and who stands out from the crowd. So how can you compete in such a difficult market?

When employers are looking for someone unique, make your resume jump out by adding volunteer experience. How can volunteering boost your job search? We’re going to find out.

1. Expand your network.
Volunteering at a local nonprofit organization pushes you out of your comfort zone and gives you the opportunity to meet with other community professionals in a non-work environment. And while networking isn’t always easy, volunteering makes it easier.

Whether you’re volunteering at a soup kitchen or serving on a nonprofit board, you will be introduced to an entirely new field of professional organizations. Where there’s a connection, there’s a network just waiting to be tapped into—that your potential employer could be a part of.

2. Demonstrate community leadership.
If you’ve had a difficult time finding leadership opportunities at past jobs or organizations, volunteering is a chance to show just how much of a leader you can be. In fact, according to Monster.com, 93% of workers surveyed said that volunteering gave them the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills like never before.

Volunteerism shows your employer that you’re capable of recognizing a need, getting involved, taking charge and making a difference. That’s the type of leadership money can’t buy.

3. Learn new skills.
Diversify your skillset by volunteering in new and unique ways. Practice interpersonal skills by working with homeless community members. Demonstrate your management experience by helping to plan and coordinate an event with a nonprofit organization.

Whatever work you do in volunteering, you’re sure to broaden your skills and learn about your hidden talents. These are valuable traits to put on your resume and share in an interview.

4. Show your compassionate side.
In today’s market, employers are looking for more than just an employee. They want an employee who is involved, works hard and cares about his or her community. Volunteering is the perfect way to show your potential employer that there’s more to you than just a job—you want to make a difference wherever you go.

Show your compassionate side by volunteering within your community, and employers will appreciate the value and commitment you can bring to a company.

5. Beef up your resume.
Finally, if you find your resume lacking a little bit in content, volunteering is an excellent way to beef it up with valuable substance. Your resume will catch employers’ eyes not only by its substantial totality, but also through its impressive variety.

If you’re in the market for a new position, help yourself and your community by volunteering with a local nonprofit organization. You may be surprised at just how useful it can be in a world of difficult job hunting.

Together, we are

strong.
