Our Advisory Board, The Friends of Clayton County CASA (FCCC), was established in 1998 to help support the local CASA program with fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and public awareness efforts. Now a 16 seat board, the "Friends" is comprised of passionate, dedicated citizens within our community and surrounding areas.
