Henrico Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a non-profit organization that was established in 1994. The program was developed to assist the Juvenile Courts to prevent repeated victimization of abused and neglected children. CASA volunteers are appointed by judges to gather and report information about the child's situation and service needs, and to help the court to ensure the child's safety.
Henrico CASA promotes safe, healthy homes for every child in Henrico County, especially those vulnerable from abuse and neglect. Our volunteer advocates are a safe and consistent presence in a child’s life, while also serving as their voice in court.
Together, we change a child’s story. Court Appointed Special Advocates, aka CASAs, are skilled volunteers who are trained by Henrico CASA to help vulnerable children. These volunteer advocates are appointed by judges to speak up for the best interests of children experiencing possible abuse and/or neglect. CASAs build a relationship with the child and gather observations that are vital to the court process.
Volunteer advocates
- LEARN about the child and their life
- ENGAGE during regular visits
- COLLABORATE with professionals
- RECOMMEND supports and services
- SHARE observations with the court
Without an advocate, hundreds of local children experiencing abuse and neglect will not have a strong voice in their corner. Will you join us in our mission to ensure every child has a voice?
