CASA Kane County, a nonprofit serving as the voice for children in the foster care system as they navigate the courts, is seeking 50 additional volunteers due to increasing demand.
Volunteers often become the one consistent figure in a child’s life, offering stability and advocacy throughout the often-lengthy court process, according to a news release from CASA.
In 2023, CASA Kane County advocated for 663 children, the largest number in its 35-year history, according to the release.
