CASA Lake County IL, Inc.

Vernon Hills, IL

    • Mission

    CASA Lake County promotes and protects the best interest of children who have been abused or neglected, by training volunteers to advocate for them in the court, in schools, and in our community to help them find safe, permanent and loving homes.

    About Us

    Imagine what it would be like to lose your parents because they can't - or won't - take care of you. Now, into your life come dozens of strangers: police, foster parents, social workers, and more. A CASA volunteer brings stability to a life that sorely needs it.

    CASA Lake County is part of the nationwide network that is Court Appointed Special Advocates. You can learn more about National CASA at https://casaforchildren.org/

    More than 280 volunteers serve nearly 500 children annually in Lake County, IL. Since its inception, CASA Lake County volunteers have helped thousands of children find safe, permanent homes.

    Who are Our Advocates?

    CASA empowers everyday citizens as appointed members of the court. Volunteers are teachers, business people, retirees, stay-at-home moms, grandparents, and more. Some work full time, others don't...but all are extraordinary people who want to make certain the voices of abused/neglected children are heard. Being a CASA volunteer does not require a specialized degree or legal experience. We provide all the training that's needed.
