Community Attention is the division of Charlottesville's social services department that specializes in programs geared to at-risk youth from the ages of 10 to 18[1]. Founded in 1971[2], Community Attention is a fee-based program with primary funding coming from the Virginia Juvenile Community Crime Control Act (VJCCCA) and the Comprehensive Services Act (CSA).

Executive Director Heather Kellams was recognized for her service in 2010 when she was named as one of the Daily Progress' "Distinguished Dozen"[3].
