Mission Statement
CASA Kane County is a Guardian ad Litem, nonprofit volunteer organization that advocates for the best interests of children in abuse, neglect and private guardianship cases within the Juvenile Court system.
Description
It Begins With A Single Volunteer! Find your place and make a difference with your gift of time for children who need YOU. A CASA/GAL is a trained community volunteer that is recruited, and supervised by the CASA organization and appointed by a Judge to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children.
Children with advocates reach a permanent, stable home faster. Most often, the CASA/GAL volunteer is the only person in the foster child’s life that isn’t paid - the foster parents, therapist, social workers are all paid and the kids know that.
When a CASA/GAL volunteer comes and says "I am here, just for you," that is powerful and life-changing.
