Jude Red Bear
Advocacy Coordinator
After working with children in many different capacities over the years and having had children and adopted children of my own, I felt led to play a role in assisting and impacting the lives of children. For me, it is a calling to do this work with CASA. I am continually drawn to helping these children who are suffering from the effects of abuse and neglect. It is a great honor to be a part of Piedmont CASA and assist children during this difficult transitional time as we work to help them achieve permanency.

Cameren Jones
Advocacy Coordinator
I'm a Georgia transplant originally from the DMV area. I graduated with my Masters in Human Services with a specialization in Social and Community Services from Capella University. I previously worked for a private Foster Care Agency for roughly four and a half years before joining the CASA program in 2016. Originally starting with the Fulton County CASA Program, I was there for two and a half years before venturing off with a lateral move to Piedmont CASA. It gives me such satisfaction to be apart of the CASA organization. CASA is the only organization that can be consistently present, submit a report and heard in court, continuously making a difference in the best interest of our children in care. What can be more self rewarding than that! Helping others is what I love and was called to do!

Jessica Breeden
Advocacy Coordinator
Jessica is a Tennessee native that has lived in Georgia for almost a decade. She graduated from the University of Georgia with a Master of Social Work in May 2020. Jessica recently joined our staff after interning as a trauma counselor at The Tree House in Winder. Her background as an educator fueled her passion to help children beyond the classroom. She served as a CASA volunteer in Athens for over four years, and this experience led to an interest in advocating for children throughout her career. Jessica is excited to serve children and families through Piedmont CASA.

Amber Hardeman
Administrative Coordinator
Amber is a mother of three boys and a Georgia native. She previously worked for Walton County Superior Court and comes with an extensive legal background.
Amber joined our team in September 2019 and immediately began training to become a CASA. Through the training Amber says she quickly realized the importance and need for volunteers in our community.
Amber hopes with her commitment, vigilance, and persistence she can offer that light of hope to ensure children are in placements with loving, consistent caregivers that they deserve.

Kym is the mom of five kids and has volunteered with children for many years. She is very excited to work with the amazing Piedmont CASA team of staff and volunteers in order to help children thrive in the best home for them.
