CASA of Central Virginia CASA’s mission is to train volunteer advocates for children who have been abused and neglected. Its service area includes the entire 24th Judicial District.

The nation's first CASA program was developed in Seattle, Washington in 1977 by David Soukup. As a Judge, David Soukup realized that he needed help in determining what was in the best interest of the children whose cases he had before him in court. He came up with the idea of training volunteers to be advocates for abused and neglected children. Since then over 955 CASA programs have been established throughout the nation. Judge Dale Harris helped to found a CASA program in Central Virginia in the summer of 1989 for the purpose of providing advocacy services to the abused and neglected children in Lynchburg and Amherst County. By 1991-1992 CASA volunteers were also in demand in Bedford County, Campbell County and Nelson County. CASA of Central Virginia was incorporated in January 1994 and received its status as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization in August 1994. The 24th Judicial District is a 2,258 square mile area that includes the cities of Bedford and Lynchburg and the counties of Amherst, Bedford, Campbell and Nelson.
