Heartland CASA is thrilled to partner with Kemmerer Village to offer a six-week CASA Pre-Service Training for individuals interested in advocating for children in Macon, Christian, Moultrie, and DeWitt Counties.
We're looking for 15 compassionate community members who are ready to make a lasting difference in the life of a child. You don't have to live in one of these counties to advocate for a child there.
CASA advocates are not foster parents. They are trained volunteers appointed by a judge to be a consistent voice for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.
💙 Be Someone Who Shows Up.
Daytime and evening training options are available.
Click the event for complete training details, schedules, and location, then visit iheartcasa.org/volunteer or call 217-428-8424 to get started.

Today, we honor Juneteenth—a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of justice and equality.
At Heartland CASA, we recognize the importance of ensuring every child has a voice, is treated with dignity, and has the opportunity to thrive. As we reflect on our nation's history, we reaffirm our commitment to advocating for the well-being and best interests of all children in our communities.
Join us in celebrating freedom, honoring the strength of those who came before us, and continuing the work of building a more equitable future for every child.

Wednesday, June 10 | 5:30 - 7:00 p.m.

You do not have to be a foster parent.
You do not need a background in social work.
You simply need a willingness to show up for a child when they need it most.
Our inaugural Moultrie County training classes are just around the corner, and we would love to fill every seat.
Please share this event, invite a friend, and help us spread the word. Together, we can ensure more children in Moultrie County have someone in their corner when they need it most.
Because every child deserves someone who shows up.
