Will you speak for a child? Learn more about CASA volunteering.

A new case of child abuse or neglect enters the Fairfax 

County Domestic & Juvenile Relations District Court once every

38 hours. These children need dedicated, caring advocates to help ensure that their best interests are represented in court.

That's where Court Appointed Special Advocates,
or CASA volunteers, enter the picture. CASA volunteers investigate a child's situation and speak for the best interests of the child.  Volunteers visit the children twice a month and interview social workers, therapists, teachers and other professionals, all the while gathering information to report to court. Volunteers receive extensive training and are supervised by a professional staff.

If you seek a volunteer role with real purpose that can create real change, please attend Fairfax CASA's upcoming information session on Saturday, February 22, 11:00 am - 12:00 pm, at the Kings Park Library in Burke.
