Northeastern Illinois University Child Advocacy Studies Program

Check out the first CAST-related study tour! The tour was connected to Dr. Birmingham-Hoel's course CAST 210: Children & Poverty.

From the NEIU College of Arts and Sciences, Rachel Birmingham-Hoel, Ph.D. (Department Chair of Justice Studies) and Amanda Dykema-Engblade, Ph.D. (Professor of Psychology and Interim Associate CAS Dean) traveled to Rome with 10 students on a human rights-focused study tour. 💛💙

Thank you so much for your generosity today! We raised enough for 3 additional scholarships for our CAST students! https://fundraise.givesmart.com/vf/Give2NEIU/ChildAdvocacyStudies

Through our donors’ generosity, we were able to give out six $500 CAST scholarships this past year to provide some of our wonderful students much-needed financial support as they completed their internships. One scholarship recipient wrote:

“I would like to express my sincere gratitude for being selected to receive the CAST Intern scholarship. As a first-generation bilingual student, I find this scholarship not only helpful but truly life-changing.”

Please help us continue to provide funds to support our students. For every dollar donated, $1 will be donated - up to an additional $250. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation now or text Give2NEIU2029 to 71777.

We blew our Giving Tuesday goal to raise $500 out of the water! A huge thank you to all who contributed towards the CAST Scholarship Fund to help support our student interns.

Please donate today towards the Child Advocacy Studies (CAST) Scholarship Fund! The funds will be used to help support students completing their internships those working directly in the field with children, youth, and families. And every dollar donated will be matched up to $500 so your donation will go twice as far!
