Fifteen new volunteers were sworn in on Nov. 18, by the Lake County Juvenile Court to serve as Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). The new volunteers have been trained by CASA Lake County to support, protect and advocate for children who have been victims of neglect, child abuse and domestic violence. Some of these children remain in their homes but most are placed in foster care settings.
