Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of Cook County trains volunteers to advocate on behalf of children ages 0-21 involved in Cook County’s Child Protection Court and serve as their CASA child’s voice in court, helping ensure that child’s voice is heard. CASA Advocates are connected with one child/sibling group to help ensure that their CASA child’s social, emotional, developmental, and cognitive needs are met and that the child’s best interests remain at the forefront of their child protection team members’ priorities as the team makes decisions on the child’s behalf about their health and well-being, living situation, school environment, connections with family members, and long-term court goals.

Juvenile Justice
There are some children in the Child Protection Court that are also part of the Juvenile Justice Court. CASA Advocates continue to advocate for children’s best interests and needs when they are involved in this Court as well; attending both Child Protection and Juvenile Justice Court hearings and connecting with Juvenile Justice Court team members. We welcome volunteers from all over Cook County and beyond.
