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.
Fairfax CASA strives to reunify families whenever possible and believes that every child should have the opportunity to be raised in their own home, with their own families or with those who will keep them connected to their families, whenever safe and possible.
