About CASA
Our Vision
We believe that every child has the right to grow up in a safe, nurturing and permanent home, and deserves the support and involvement of their community to make this all possible.
Our Mission
CASA Kendall County advocates for the best interest of children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
We train and support dedicated community volunteers who serve to protect a child’s right to a safe and permanent home. We are the child’s voice in court.
Our Values
Our paramount value is integrity. Morality, ethics and law each help guide the many decisions made each day. Respect and passion connect stakeholders to the mission. Everything we do is driven by service for the children.
We are pleased to share our organization’s
annual report for 2024
