FAIRFAX COURT APPOINTED SPECIAL ADVOCATES INC
Mission Statement
The mission of Fairfax CASA is to advocate for the best interests of each abused and neglected child referred by the Fairfax County Juvenile & Domestic Relations District Court through the promotion and support of quality volunteer representation. We seek to ensure that each child’s needs are identified and addressed with the goal of living in a safe and permanent home. As permitted by our legislative charter, we also provide assistance to youths entering adulthood who have been referred to the CASA program by the Court, up to the age of 21. Every child deserves a safe and loving home. Our vision is to recruit, train, and supervise enough highly qualified and committed citizens to provide a strong advocate – a CASA volunteer – for each child under the Court’s protection. CASA volunteers are a child’s best hope for a positive future.
