Change their future.
Volunteer with CASA
By volunteering a few hours a month as a Court-Appointed Special Advocate, you give a voice to the 300 kids in Champaign County who’ve experienced abuse and neglect. You can help the judge make more informed decisions—helping children secure the safe home they deserve.
Volunteers visit the child regularly, connect with adults and case professionals in their life, and make recommendations to the court with help from CASA staff.

Every child who’s experienced abuse and neglect deserves the opportunity to thrive.
