Piedmont Court Apointed Special Advocates Inc

Research shows that older youth in foster care who turn 18 and "age out" face dismal outcomes. When we look at our own cases, we saw the same thing and the youth we were serving were struggling. In january 2017, piedmont casa launched the bridges to success program. Today, three professional adult mentors provide 1:1 guidance and support to foster kids ages 13 to 18 and continue to work with young adults who stay on our caseload up to age 21. They work to teach, support, and guide these youth so that they can successfully transition into independent adulthood.
