Dupage Policy Journal

Illinois hosts numerous local chapters of Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), an organization where volunteers advocate for the best interests of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. These community members play a crucial role in ensuring that the mental, physical, and educational needs of these children are met while they are involved with the child welfare system.

CASA volunteers often form close personal bonds with children in crisis situations, providing them with much-needed support and stability. Those interested in learning more about CASA's work or joining a local chapter can visit their website at https://illinoiscasa.org.
