Goochland is blessed with a gracious plenty
of volunteers who donate their time, talents, and treasure to make our
community a special place to live.
Among these volunteers, our CASAs go
above and beyond the call of duty to act as the “eyes and ears of the court”
when children, through no fault of their own, get caught up in the justice
system. They advocate for the best interest of abused and neglected children who
are entitled to a safe permanent home.
Founded in 2005, Goochland CASA’s
three initial volunteers have grown to
corps of 24 who serve as many as
70 children per year. Volunteers must
compete special training and take an oath of office administered by a
judge.
CASAs ensure that a child’s rights
are protected while in foster care and follow them until they are placed in a safe,
loving permanent home. For many abused
children, a CASA volunteer is the only consistent presence in their lives during
this transition.
Goochland CASAs have served 330 children, logged over 13,000 miles, and
6,000 volunteer hours to help their charges find light during a dark time in
their lives.
CASA receives partial funding from federal,
state, and local government, in kind support and contributions from the community. This concert is a fun way to help these great
people help kids.
