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/

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.
