Winnebago County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is dedicated to advocating for children in the juvenile court system who have experienced abuse or neglect. Trained community volunteers, known as CASAs, are appointed by a Juvenile Court judge to represent the best interests of these vulnerable children, ensuring they have a voice in legal proceedings. The organization aims to empower volunteers to build meaningful relationships with the children, families, and various service providers involved in each case. Through their commitment and dedication, CASAs work to change children's stories and foster hope in their lives. Generated from the website
