Review for Henrico CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), Henrico, VA, USA
Being a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is a truly rewarding experience. A CASA helps children who are in difficult situations through no fault of their own. Often their parents have not provided the love and support that any child is entitled to. Sometimes these children have been abused, either sexually, physically or emotionally. We investigate their situation and recommend to the Court what we believe is the best solution.
Some of these cases are disturbing. It is not always easy to prevent your emotions from getting the best of you. I try to stay calm and determine how I can best help the child.
Although it is not an easy volunteer position, I would recommend CASA to anyone who wants to help children in need.
