Half as likely to re-enter the foster care system.

More likely to find a safe, permanent home.

Norfolk CASA Statement on the
Passing of Judge Jerrauld Jones

Norfolk CASA joins our community in mourning the loss of the Honorable Judge Jerrauld Jones. A trailblazer in civil rights and a tireless advocate for justice, Judge Jones served the Commonwealth of Virginia with unwavering commitment across all three branches of government.
Among his many lasting contributions, Judge Jones was instrumental in codifying the role of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) during his time in the Virginia House of Delegates. His leadership gave our mission the legitimacy, structure, and recognition it needed to grow. Because of his efforts, thousands of Virginia's children navigating the court system due to abuse and neglect have had the benefit of a dedicated advocate by their side.
We are certain that all CASA programs across Virginia join Norfolk CASA in extending our deepest gratitude and heartfelt condolences to his wife, Norfolk Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Lyn Simmons, their son Jay Jones, and to all of Judge Jones’s family, friends, and loved ones.
His legacy will continue to impact generations.

Letter from the Executive Director,

As we continue to march into a brave, new future, we'd like to thank each of you for your support of our mission and the children we advocate for within Norfolk Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court.

For 39 years, Norfolk’s Court Appointed Special Advocates have been by the side of thousands of children, lending them their shoulders to lean on and their voice in the courtrooms.

Now, more than ever, we are committed to our CASA children’s best interest.

​If you are interested in getting involved, whether it's by volunteering as an advocate, hosting a fundraiser, or serving as a board or committee member, we would love to hear from you. 

Until they are all safely home,
