Angela Langstrom,  Children’s Voice: CASA, Douglas County, GA

GA CASA 2013 Volunteer of the Year

Angela  Langstrom, the 2013 CASA Volunteer of the Year in Georgia, has  been a dedicated CASA volunteer with Children’s Voice: CASA, Inc., in  Douglas County, for three years. She has advocated for 11 children in five  families during her tenure. Her organizational skills, gift of engagement and  even-tempered approach are strong assets in her role as a CASA volunteer.

Juvenile  Court Judge Peggy Walker states that “Angela Langstrom is a powerful voice for children…She  makes certain she knows everything about her case and the child for whom she  speaks. She does not hesitate to advocate and make clear what the needs of the  child are. She is compassionate and devoted to this work. It is a privilege and  honor to work with someone who exhibits this degree of passion for children and  families as well as professionalism in working to collaboratively achieve  permanency.”

Angela  also fields questions from potential CASA volunteers during pre-service  trainings and mentors new CASA volunteers. She is also willing to promote CASA  in her community, having appeared on a local television station as a panelist  and being featured in a promotional video to raise awareness of CASA  volunteerism in the community.

Angela’s  commitment to children goes beyond her role as a CASA volunteer. She and her  husband are the adoptive parents of three children and she is the author of a  children’s book entitled And God Said…See,  I Told You So!: A True Story of Faith and Adoption.

Over 2,100 CASA volunteers, like Angela, advocate for abused and neglected children in Georgia, promoting safety,  a permanent home and overall well-being for each child. You can get involved with a CASA program  in your community! Become a CASA volunteer, make a charitable  donation, become an ambassador for CASA by serving as  a board or advisory board member or give general support to CASA events,  fundraisers or trainings.
