Welcome to CASA of Sangamon County
Our Mission
At Casa of Sangamon County, our mission is to provide trained, court-appointed volunteers who advocate for the best interests of children involved in the child welfare system. We work to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow up in a safe, permanent, and nurturing home, where their voices are heard and their needs are met.
The Role of a CASA Advocate
Advocates are everyday people who care about children. After receiving training and being sworn in by the court, they are assigned to a child or sibling group. They:
- Get to know the child and their circumstances
- Talk with family members, teachers, foster parents, and service providers
- Review records and reports
- Provide written recommendations to the court to help judges make informed decisions
CASA advocates are often the one constant person in a child’s life during a difficult and uncertain time.
Upcoming Events
Every event is more than a date on the calendar—it’s a step toward hope, healing, and brighter futures. Whether you join us for a training, fundraiser, or community gathering, your support helps give children in the child welfare system a stronger voice and the chance to Change a Child’s Story.
