CASA of Central Virginia (Court Appointed Special Advocates) serves Lynchburg, Appomattox, Amherst, Bedford, Campbell and Nelson, and plays a vital role in advocating for abused and neglected children in those communities.

CASA volunteers are ordinary individuals who step forward to become extraordinary advocates for the vulnerable children we serve. They serve as a consistent presence in a child’s life during a tumultuous period they are going through.

Anyone interested in becoming a CASA volunteer or who would like to learn more about the program may visit www.cvcasa.org.
