We are CASA. We are for the Children.
Standing Up for Children in Our Community
Chesterfield CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is a nonprofit organization that empowers volunteers to advocate for children who have experienced abuse or neglect in Chesterfield County and Colonial Heights. We strive to ensure every child’s voice is heard, their needs are prioritized, and their future is protected.
Change A Child’s Story
When a child enters the court system, they need more than a case number. They need someone who sees them, hears them, and speaks up for their best interests. CASA volunteers work alongside judges, social workers, and attorneys to make sure each child’s voice is heard and their needs are met. We don’t give up because their future depends on it.
Be the Difference. Be a CASA.
Protect Their Future
When a child is removed from their home due to abuse or neglect, their world is turned upside down. The future is uncertain. Too often, they face it without a consistent, caring adult by their side. That’s where CASA volunteers come in.
As a Court Appointed Special Advocate, you’ll stand by a child through their journey in the court and foster care system. You’ll get to know their story, speak up for their needs, and help them find the stability and safety they deserve.
You’ll be there to change a life. And it just might change yours, too.
The CASA Difference

4,000+ Advocacy Hours

97% of CASA Recommendations

Too many children enter the Chesterfield County court system each year due to abuse or neglect. We provide stability and a reliable presence during an otherwise uncertain time, ensuring each child’s voice is heard in court.
It can be horrible, heartbreaking, and sad. But when you see that child bloom from your efforts and the efforts of the entire team, it fills your heart in a way that cannot be expressed in words. It makes every tear worth it.
