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.
National CASA Evidence of Effectiveness
A child with a CASA/GAL volunteer is more likely to find a safe, permanent home:
  • More likely to be adopted 
  • Half as likely to re-enter foster care 
  • Substantially less likely to spend time in long-term foster care 
  • More likely to have a plan for permanency, especially children of color 
  • Children with CASA volunteers get more help while in the system.
Norfolk CASA is a proud recipient of the Community Leadership Partners of the Hampton Roads Community Foundation grant
