Illinois CASA

Who We Are

Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) are community volunteers who step up to become trained advocates for children in Illinois who have experienced abuse or neglect. With thorough training and supervision, CASA volunteers build meaningful relationships with children who have an open child abuse/neglect case, communicate with the adults in their life, and advocate for their best interests in the court system. CASA volunteers have teh unique power to change a child's story. Learn more about becoming a volunteer in Illinois: https://illinoiscasa.org/how-to-help/
