CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE NEED SOMEONE TO SPEAK FOR THEM....
I am for the child who has attended eight schools in four years. Because she's in foster care. Because her birth mother, debilitated by mental illness, neglected her. That is the child I am for. And because I am, she will be half as likely to languish in foster care and that much more likely to find a safe, permanent home. I am a Court Appointed Special Advocate.
Our mission is to give abused and neglected children of Barrow, Jackson and Banks Counties certified volunteers to be their voice in Juvenile Court.
45 Piedmont CASA volunteers are currently helping 100 children in foster care; there are still about 22% of kids in foster care who don't have CASA volunteers. If you live in this area and love children, we need YOU. Your relationship with that child helps them learn to trust again. New volunteer class starts Tuesday, January 17, 2012. Go to the Volunteer Page for more information.
We need your donations to provide a volunteer for each child. Donate today by clicking the DONATE button below and take a tax deduction for 2011. You will receive confirmation of your donation and a letter by postal mail.
Our annual fund raiser, CASAblanca Night, for 2011 was a great success! See Coming Events page for more information.
