| When you're a kid EVERYday should be a good day. unfortunately EACH day in America: 8750children are reported as abused or neglected. 500,000 children are in foster care. 4 children die from abuse. YOU CAN HELP! A Community-Based Solution The Court Appointed Juvenile Advocates (CAJA) program of Madison County is affiliated with the National Court Appointed Special Advocate Association (CASA). We are an all-volunteer, community-based solution to the growing problem of abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Our Goal: A safe, permanent home for every child. CAJA volunteers are appointed by judges as Officers of the Court to objectively investigate child abuse and neglect cases. CAJA volunteers come from all professions - teachers, engineers, auto workers, homemakers, college students. They are united in the belief that EVERY child deserves a safe, permanent home.
You can support our volunteers as they make a difference in the lives of abused and neglected children.
