For TODAY ONLY on 10/20/22, donate here for the Geneva Chamber Challenge Campaign to support CASA Kane County!
CASA/GAL stands for Court Appointed Special Advocate and Guardian Ad Litem.
CASAs are specially trained volunteers who become the crucial voice of a child in abuse and neglect cases.
Relied upon by judges and most importantly, the children, CASAs are among the most respected volunteers and advocates in the community.
If you are 21 or older and have 5-15 hours a month to give a child – YOU can be a CASA!
Advocating for the Voice of Children in Foster Care
Our Mission
CASA Kane County is a non-profit, volunteer-driven organization, dedicated to advocating for children who have experienced abuse or neglect and are subsequently placed in foster care. We recruit, train, and supervise volunteers who serve as the child's voice and the judge's eyes and ears throughout the duration of their case in juvenile court.
Our Vision
Our vision is for every child entering foster care in Kane County to be placed in a safe, nurturing, and permanent home. We envision that all children will be equipped with the tools, resources, and support to thrive, lead fulfilled and happy lives, and reduce the likelihood of repeating the cycle of abuse.
Our Values
Our paramount value is integrity. Morality, ethics and law each help guide the many decisions made each day. Respect and passion connect stakeholders to the mission. Everything we do is driven by service for the children.
Who We Are
Child Demographics
CASA Kane County relied on 211 trained volunteers to represent 613 children in Juvenile and Probate Courts last year. These children range in age from birth to 21-year-olds who are ready to live independently.
