CASA Kendall County provides a trained, dedicated advocate for children who have experienced abuse and neglect and are involved in this county's court system.

CASA is independent from social services and focuses solely on the child's needs. Each advocate reviews records, interviews parents, teachers and doctors, and visits his or her child at least once a month. We often find out important information that others miss. Our advocates then appear in court and submit their findings to the judge.

These advocates volunteer their time — free of charge — to act as "the voice" for children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Yet, it costs money to run this valuable program. CASA Kendall County is a not-for-profit organization that recruits, trains, and supports volunteer advocates — it is not a government agency. We rely solely on private donations and grants. Your help is needed.

CASA Kendall County operates at no charge to the taxpayers, the court system or the families involved. However, Illinois is one of only seven states that do not fund their CASA programs. As such, CASA Kendall County is a separate nonprofit organization that relies heavily on community support, special events, individual contributions and grants to provide these critical, unduplicated services.
