CASA of McHenry County

CASA of McHenry County is a non-profit organization that exists to support and protect children who have experienced abuse or neglect by providing them with a trained, committed volunteer to advocate for their best interest.
Every Child Deserves to Live in a Safe, Loving, Forever Home.
Every day, children in our community who have been abused or neglected are placed into temporary foster care because their parents cannot - or will not - take care of them. Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) of McHenry County gives these children a voice in court so they can grow up in safe, forever homes where they can thrive.



CASA volunteers make a life-long difference for children - one child at a time.



Founded in 2005, with the assistance of now-retired Judge Ward Arnold, we have provided a voice for more than 500 children with the dedication of nearly 200 trained volunteer advocates.



With the support of local businesses, individuals, and foundations, CASA continues to grow so that, one day, every child in McHenry County's Juvenile Abuse court will have a CASA.
