This page is being developed to provide the latest information on how to give back to your community. The effort was suggested by a property owner attending a recent board of directors meeting. If you would like to add information to this area, please email .
Consider socializing community service projects here. Our students are required to complete community service. The retired among us may be looking for nearby opportunities. The busy parents among us may only be able to contribute financially (which would likely be very much appreciated by resource-strapped champions of worthy causes!)
Lorton Community Action Center. Lorton Community Action Center (LCAC) is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit organization, dedicated to improving the quality of life for underprivileged families and children in the Lorton, Virginia area since 1975. Its mission is two-fold, providing assistance and outreach. Its goal is to help families improve their lives, while assisting them toward self-sufficiency. Go to the center's web site.
Court Appointed Special Advocates. The Court Appointed Special Advocate program was first established in 1977 by a Seattle judge who was concerned about making decisions on behalf of abused and neglected children without sufficient information to support his decisions. Out of his concern, Judge David Soukup conceived of the idea to use trained advocates to speak for the children in court. The Seattle program was such a success that judges throughout the country have requested CASA organizations for their own jurisdictions. Today, there are more than 970 CASA programs nationwide.
