Newport News CASA helps “powerless children” who are under the court's
supervision. CASAs ensure that the children are safe. CASAs
ensure that each child is receiving all the court mandated
services. CASAs ensure that each child has the continuity of
one person they can count on during their time within the
legal system. CASAs remain with their child until the
ultimate goal of a safe, loving and permanent home is
reached.
