Organization Profile
Virginia Beach Court Appointed Special Advocates, Inc.
http://www.virginiabeachcasa.org
Virginia Beach Court Appointed Special Advocates (VB CASA) is a private, non-profit organization that recruits, trains and supervises volunteers to advocate for the needs of abused and neglected children in court proceedings. The program promotes safe, permanent homes for all children and seeks to educate the community concerning the needs of abused and neglected children.
CASA volunteers are members of the community who receive extensive education and training in order to advocate for abused and neglected children - who through no fault of their own - 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.
