ACROSS ILLINOIS – Illinois is home to dozens of local CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) chapters. CASA volunteers are community members who advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect and are involved with the child welfare system. Volunteers form close personal bonds with children in crisis situations and ensure that their mental, physical, and educational needs are being met.
You can learn more about the special work that CASA does by visiting their website and joining one of their local chapters.
