A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) is an everyday citizen, specially trained by CASA Kane County, who is appointed by the Juvenile Court Judge to advocate for the safety and well-being of children who are victims of abuse and neglect. CASA volunteers are appointed as Guardians ad Litem (GAL) for children under age 21 and act as the eyes and ears of the judge by documenting each child's circumstances and making recommendations for services and permanency. The ultimate goal of the CASA/GAL is to help ensure that every child lives in a safe and permanent home. This could mean reunification with their parents, placement with relatives, or adoption by a loving family.
