Our Mission
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 47 volunteers who are serving 106 children who have been indicated for abuse and/or neglect. However, there is still a great need for additional volunteers, as there were approximately 530 children who were indicated for abuse and/or neglect in Macon County in 2008. Unfortunately, this is an increase from the 445 in 2007.
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.
