[ATLANTA, GA] – Junior Achievement of Georgia (JA of Georgia) is proud to announce CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) as their newest partner at the JA Chick-fil-A Discovery Center.
Located in Midtown Atlanta, the JA Chick-fil-A Discovery Center hosts over 30 companies dispersed across two simulation spaces. CASA is proudly represented in Junior Achiement Finance Park. Through this partnership, CASA is enlightening students on the importance of Philanthropy and giving back within their community.
“The greatest investment we can make in a community is not in its buildings, but in the potential of its children. At Atlanta CASA, we believe education opens doors, advocacy changes trajectories, and volunteerism creates generations of leaders who give back.” Domonique Cooper
,Chief Executive Officer of Atlanta CASA, continued by sharing, “When we connect young people to opportunity and inspire them to become advocates for others, we do more than change individual lives. We create a pipeline of purpose, where today's children become tomorrow's mentors, leaders, and changemakers. That is how we transform communities and build a legacy that outlives us all.”
CASA and Junior Achievement of Georgia share a commitment to helping young people build brighter futures. While CASA advocates for the safety, stability, and well-being of children who have experienced abuse or neglect, JA works to inspire and prepare young people to succeed in a global economy. Both organizations recognize that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, discover their potential, and build a successful future. Together, these missions reflect the importance of supporting young people with the resources, guidance, and opportunities they need to succeed.
