Help protect abused and neglected children in your community by becoming a volunteer advocate.
Court appointed special advocates (CASA) make a difference in abused and neglected children's lives. Children with a CASA are less likely to re-enter the foster care system, less likely to be re-abused, more likely to receive necessary services and more likely to be adopted than children without a CASA.
The first step in becoming a CASA volunteer is to attend an information session. At the session, guests have the opportunity to hear about the process of advocating for a child who has been abused or neglected. It’s the best way to get the full picture of what’s involved.
Each month, we offer Information Sessions in Prince William, Fauquier and Warren counties.
To register for this free 1-hour information session please email jpolen@casacis.org or call (703) 330-8145.
