Juvenile Court and Child Advocate Volunteers Honored

The DeKalb County Juvenile Court and the Child Advocate Network, Inc., honored more than 400 volunteers at the Annual Volunteer Ceremony in September. The featured guest speaker was Emmy award-winning co-anchor for FOX 5 News Amanda Davis. Ms. Davis was honored for her tireless work and commitment to youth in Wednesday’s Child, a FOX 5 weekly series profiling foster care children who are available for adoption and in need of permanent homes in Georgia.

The ceremony also recognized volunteers of the DeKalb County Juvenile Court in the following areas: Citizen Panel Review Program, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Youth Diversion Program, Community Service Program, and Youth Achievement Program. Collectively, the volunteers being honored have contributed more than 30,000 hours of service each year on behalf of children served by the DeKalb Juvenile Court.
