CASA of the NRV
CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) of the New River Valley, a program of NRV CARES, trains volunteers who are committed to advocating for children who are involved in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court proceedings who have been abused or neglected.
Our CASA volunteers are appointed by the courts, and are everyday people who serve as the "eyes and ears" for judges on behalf of a child in need.
Our CASA program advocates for more than 100 children each year, serving courts in the Counties of Giles, Floyd, Montgomery, and Pulaski as well as the City of Radford.
Volunteer trainings are held at different times throughout the year.
If you are interested in learning more about CASA or becoming a CASA volunteer, please contact us at 540.381.8312 or at leah@nrvcares.org
