DuPage Foundation Funds CASA’s Child Advocacy Program
CASA of DuPage County received funding to support the Child Advocacy program from DuPage Foundation. CASA of DuPage County has successfully advocated for vulnerable children in the juvenile court system for more than 30 years. Driven by our mission to advocate for children who are abused and neglected, CASA recruits, trains and supports volunteer advocates to represent each child's best interests in the court and in the community. Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteers make a life-changing difference for children who are victims of abuse and neglect.
“We are profoundly grateful to DuPage Foundation for providing the funding for critical support for abused and neglected children in DuPage County. CASA volunteer advocates become a stable adult in the lives of children who are experiencing trauma and abuse.” Suzanne Skala, Executive Director, CASA of DuPage County.
