Children's Advocacy Center of Grundy County

❤️❤️ always good to connect with other CAC directors, thank you CACI.

This past week, CACI hosted our Annual Directors Conference, bringing together the incredible leaders who guide Children’s Advocacy Centers across Illinois. Each year, we leave this time together reminded of the passion, dedication, and heart that drives our CAC directors to serve children and families with excellence and compassion. 💙

We are truly grateful for this community of leaders—those who continue to support one another, share ideas, and push our collective mission forward. Our hope is that this network of directors continues to grow stronger each year, because we know that when we stand together, we are stronger together.

2025 Marks a Special Milestone for CACI!

This year, we’re proud to celebrate 30 years of advocacy as the Children’s Advocacy Centers of Illinois (CACI)! Throughout the year, we’ll be highlighting the incredible milestones, accomplishments, memories, and partnerships that have shaped us over the past three decades, as well as sharing a vision for the future of child advocacy.

✨ To kick off this celebration, we’re excited to unveil our brand-new 30th Anniversary Logo! ✨

Stay tuned to our social media channels and monthly newsletter for updates and features all year long as we commemorate this milestone and honor the amazing work of CACs across Illinois.

Together, we continue to create a brighter future for children. 💙

We are heartbroken at the loss of one of our biggest advocates, our board member Caleb Counterman. Caleb went to bat for our Children's Advocacy Center from the moment he joined the board, from offering to help come dry wall as we got our new location to inviting us to share what we do with the County Board. He showed up and was always kind and willing to do what he could for the kids we serve. We will miss you and our hearts are with your wife, sons, and your many, many family and friends who will miss you dearly. Thank you for all you did for us.

Pastor Caleb B. Counterman

Tomorrow, Wednesday August 14, 2024, marks the start of the new school year. Now is a great time to review when you need to stop for a school bus. Use extra caution always when around buses and be on the look out for students. SLOW DOWN!

Give yourself extra travel time during drop-off and pick-up times. There will be a significant increase in traffic and students walking to and from school. Let's make this a SAFE and enjoyable school year.
