CASA of Peoria County

The mission of CASA of Peoria County is to advocate for abused and neglected children in Peoria County through the services of specially trained community volunteers.

 As of December 31, 2008 there are 1,240 pending abuse and neglect cases in the Peoria County Juvenile Court.  Many of those cases represent more than one child.  Our court and social services are overburdened.  The need is great for CASA volunteers!

 What is a CASA volunteer?

A Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) volunteer is a trained citizen who is appointed by a judge to represent the best interests of a child in Peoria County court. Children helped by CASA volunteers include those for whom home placement is being determined in Peoria County juvenile court. Most of the children are victims of abuse or neglect.
