Our Mission Statement

 

The Mission Statement of Macon County CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) is to provide court appointed volunteers to advocate for the abused, neglected and/or dependent children who are involved in the Macon County juvenile court system. It shall further be the purpose of this corporation to educate the community regarding its responsibility for children who have been abused or neglected and found to be dependent.

Currently, Macon County CASA utilizes the skills of 70 volunteers who are serving 130 children who have been indicated for abuse and/or neglect. However, there is still a great need for additional volunteers, as there were approximately 580 children who were indicated for abuse and/or neglect in Macon County in 2010. Unfortunately, this is an increase from the 516 in 2009.

There are children who need your help! Please consider making Macon County CASA a part of your life! The children of Macon County are waiting for a CASA volunteer. If you or someone you know are willing to make CASA a part of your life, please contact us today.
