    Child Advocates is one of the most effective nonprofit organizations in our community. By matching trained volunteers (Advocates) with dependent children, we ensure the needs and best interests of foster children in our program are met. Because our volunteers are court-appointed, they can thoroughly research every aspect of a child’s case, including meeting teachers, social workers and foster parents. Advocates provide reports to the court so judges can make decisions with clear and accurate information. In addition to representing children in court, Advocates serve as friends and mentors.

    Our mission is to provide stability and hope to abused children by being a powerful voice in their lives.

    Our vision is that every child has a positive view of the future and the opportunity to become a productive, healthy adult.
