​Norfolk CASA's mission is to support and promote court appointed volunteer advocacy so that every child can be safe from harm, establish permanency and have the opportunity to thrive.
Norfolk CASA volunteers advocate for abused and neglected children in the city of Norfolk. We are the child's voice in court, and a support for them during this most confusing and traumatic time. As the ‘eyes and ears of the judge,’ we investigate and report our findings to the court at each hearing. Advocating always for the best interest of the child, we stay by their side until they are in a safe and permanent placement.
Apply now for our Fall Training '23 class: September 19 - Oct 26 (6-8pm T/TH) or
talk with us about the possibility of independent training!

To our community, 

Happy New Year!

As we all 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 38 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 by volunteering as an advocate, fundraiser, board member, or committee member,  we would love to hear from you. 

Onward, together.
