LaSalle County Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) is a non-profit organization that advocates for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the LaSalle County Court system. The organization trains and supports dedicated community volunteers who serve to protect our children’s right to a safe and permanent home.

The goal for every child is to find a permanent, safe home as quickly as possible. This may involve reuniting with their parents, but in some cases, it entails adoption by extended family or other caregivers.

Become a CASA Volunteer

Investigation: CASA conducts an independent investigation of the child’s and family’s situation and circumstances.

Facilitation: CASA communicates with all parties and encourages cooperation and collaboration so that the child’s case moves as quickly as possible to a good conclusion.

Advocacy: CASA speaks up for the child and advocates for services, decisions, and plans that are in the child’s best interests. CASA supports kids in schools, with families and caregivers, and at court.

Monitoring: CASA is directed to monitor the court orders for compliance and to bring to the court’s attention the changes that should be made to the orders. CASA is in regular contact with all parties (the child, parents, foster parents or relatives, social workers, attorneys, etc.) so that fact-based recommendations can be made to the court on the child’s behalf.
