CASA Glynn Home Page Welcome
Every year,
more than 14,000 abused and neglected children in Georgia are in foster
care because they are unable to live safely at home. In Glynn County
alone we have between 150 and 200 children in foster care.
Imagine what it
would be like to lose your parents, not because of something you did,
but because they can't - or won't - take care of you
Now, into these children's lives come dozens
of strangers: police, foster parents, therapists, social workers,
judges, lawyers and more. Hopefully, one of these strangers is a CASA volunteer.
CASA volunteers watch over and advocate
for those abused and neglected children to make sure that they move
quickly through the system. The volunteer stays with each case until it
is closed and the child is placed in a safe, permanent home. For many
children, their CASA volunteer will be the one constant adult presence
during their ordeal.
We hope you enjoy browsing this site - feel free to contact us for more
information. You can also see a video introduction to CASA HERE

Your
help is needed. We value gifts of your
time
or your
treasure.
We're glad you are here, a child needs you!
