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.
