Virginia Beach CASA

Virginia Beach Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) recruits, trains and supports volunteers to advocate for child victims of abuse and neglect who are too young to speak for themselves in the complicated family legal system.

CASA volunteers are members of the community who receive extensive education and training in order to advocate for abused and neglected children who are thrust into juvenile and domestic relations court and often, into foster care.

CASA volunteers advocate for these children to make sure they don't get lost in an overburdened system. Their ultimate responsibility is to promote safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible. It is incredibly challenging work but one child at a time, CASA volunteers are making a difference in our community, and most importantly, in the lives of the children we serve.
