Core offering

CASA of DuPage County recruits, trains, and supports volunteer advocates who are appointed by the DuPage County juvenile court to represent the best interests of children who have experienced abuse or neglect. Volunteers undergo an initial 30-hour training and commit to a 24-month program with 12 hours of annual continuing education, serving as a consistent, independent voice for the child throughout court proceedings. Services are provided at no cost to children, families, or the court.

Product overview

CASA of DuPage County operates as a nonprofit organization offering a unified child advocacy service, centered on its Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program. The core program recruits and trains volunteer advocates who are appointed by judges to represent the best interests of children in the juvenile court system due to abuse or neglect. Supporting materials include downloadable brochures (Minor Guardianship Program Brochure, Child Advocacy Brochure, General CASA Brochure) for outreach and education, plus the Healthy Families Program providing family stability resources. The organization also runs signature fundraising events (CASA Gala, CASA Golf Classic) and maintains a secure Advocate Portal for volunteer case management. Together these form a single service model focused on volunteer-driven advocacy rather than a multi-module platform architecture.

Regional players

• Children's Home Society of California: A regional nonprofit serving children and families through adoption, foster care, and child welfare services. Comparable in child welfare mission and nonprofit community-based delivery, though services are broader than CASA's volunteer-advocate-only model.
• Court Appointed Special Advocates of New Jersey: A statewide CASA network serving children in New Jersey's juvenile court system. Comparable as a CASA program network operating the same court-appointed volunteer advocacy model in a different state.

Broad incumbents

• National CASA Association: The national umbrella organization that supports, trains, and advocates for state and local CASA programs across the United States. Directly comparable as the parent network governing CASA of DuPage County's mission, training standards, and federal advocacy.
• Casey Family Programs: One of the largest national foundations focused on safely reducing the number of children in need of foster care and improving outcomes for those in care. Comparable as a major child welfare advocacy and direct-service organization with overlapping foster/juvenile justice mission.
• National Children's Alliance: The national accrediting body and membership organization for Children's Advocacy Centers serving child abuse victims. Comparable as a child welfare infrastructure organization, though its member centers deliver multidisciplinary forensic interviews rather than court advocacy.
• Prevent Child Abuse America: A national nonprofit working to prevent child abuse and neglect through advocacy, research, and a network of state chapters. Comparable in mission scope (preventing and responding to child abuse/neglect) and nonprofit community-based service model.
• Childhelp: A national nonprofit dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention, and treatment programs. Comparable as a child abuse/neglect-focused nonprofit serving a similar beneficiary population, though operating at national scale.

Direct peers

• Voices for Children (San Diego CASA): A California-based CASA affiliate providing court-appointed volunteer advocates for foster children in San Diego County juvenile court. Operates the same CASA model at comparable scale and is a strong functional peer despite geographic distance.
• CASA of Cook County: A nearby Illinois CASA chapter serving children in the Cook County juvenile court system. Highly comparable as a county-level CASA affiliate with the same volunteer-advocate model, court-appointment structure, and child welfare mission.
• CASA of Lake County (Illinois): An adjacent Illinois county CASA program serving children in Lake County juvenile court. Directly comparable in scale, geography, and service model — a peer chapter delivering the same court-appointed volunteer advocacy service.
