CASA of Central Virginia is a small nonprofit that recruits, trains, and supports volunteers who advocate for children who have been abused or neglected. These volunteers are appointed by the court to work with a child until a safe, permanent home is found, gathering information and presenting the child's voice under staff supervision. Based in Lynchburg, Virginia, the organization notes that it cannot address underlying issues such as poverty or parental addiction, but its work seeks to move children toward stable adoptive homes or safe reunifications when appropriate. It aims to broaden support through partnerships across the state to amplify the child's perspective in the judiciary. A recent development is a Volunteer/Donor Appreciation Event held in September 2024 to recognize contributions from volunteers and donors.
