Atlanta CASA Bloggers – Our Blog Club
Launched in August 2025: a monthly Atlanta CASA Blog Club where we welcome heartwarming, thought-provoking, informative, or entertaining blog submissions from volunteers, staff, and community partners. Share stories, advocacy reflections, or resources you believe will engage and inspire others.
A featured blog post will be highlighted on our website and social media each month, creating a “blog club” environment for our CASA community. This will be hosted as a separate section on the website, allowing visitors to easily find, read, and share posts. Blog submissions are due by the 15th of each month for a chance to be featured the following month. Entries can be sent to domonique.cooper@atlantacasa.
Men on the Move
Men on the Move launched in September 2025. A quarterly virtual networking and engagement initiative designed to increase male involvement in child advocacy. These gatherings bring together male CASA volunteers, staff, and community partners to build connections, share strategies for supporting youth in foster care, and inspire other men to join the mission.
Each session will feature:
- Networking opportunities with current CASA volunteers
- A guest speaker or panel sharing perspectives on advocacy and mentorship.
- Actionable ways men can support youth in Fulton County, whether through becoming a CASA, mentoring, or community advocacy.
Together, we can expand the impact of male advocates in our community, ensuring every child has diverse and caring voices speaking up for their best interests.
