CASA for Kids would like to extend our gratitude to the team at Sandberg Phoenix, who has worked diligently to make our dreams of merging a reality.

Check out the latest update from former foster youth and University of Chicago graduate, Ricky Holder's newsletter, The Legacy Project. Holder aims to transform the child welfare system in the United States, drawing from his childhood experiences where he spent over 10 years in foster care. Through The Legacy Project, you'll be kept up to date with research and family policy, receive a global perspective on child welfare processes around the world, and read personal narratives of those impacted by the child welfare system.

Full merge of CASA of South Central Illinois, CASA of Effingham County, and CASA of Franklin & Hamilton Counties set to be finalized by December 2024.

As 2024 comes to an end, we reflect on the immense growth and success of our CASA program this year. Now is the perfect time to join in support of our mission to advocate for the best interest of children in your community for an even more impactful 2025!

World Children's Day is quickly approaching on November 20th, 2024. Learn more about the importance of protecting children's rights.
