Blue Ridge CASA for Children Seeks Volunteers to Advocate for Vulnerable Children
Harrisonburg, VA — Blue Ridge CASA for Children is calling on compassionate individuals in Harrisonburg
and Rockingham County to step up and make a life-changing difference for children in need. We
encourage you to “Change a Child’s Story” by becoming a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA).

CASA volunteers serve as powerful voices for the most vulnerable members of our community—children
who have been victims of abuse and neglect. This unique opportunity allows volunteers to support these
children by advocating for their best interests in court and helping them navigate their journey toward
safe, permanent homes. “Our CASA volunteers are the heart of our mission. They ensure that every
child’s voice is heard and that their needs are prioritized,” said Angela Crawford, CEO of Blue Ridge CASA
for Children. “By joining us, you can play a critical role in changing the trajectory of a child’s life.”

There is a need for more volunteers in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. No prior experience is
required but applicants must be 21 years of age with a valid driver’s license and be able to pass a
background check. Blue Ridge CASA provides comprehensive training and ongoing support.

Becoming a CASA volunteer is more than giving back—it’s creating hope and opportunity for children in
our community. Join our mission to empower and protect children in need. Our CASA’s spend an
average of 6 hours a month volunteering, if you have as little as 6 hours a month, you could change a
child’s story.
