Child Advocates

We speak up for children who are lost in the foster system and guide them into a safe environment. Volunteers who make a difference in the lives of children.

There's no easy answer to the ever-present "What is Child Advocates?"

Very simply, our organization trains and supports volunteers. These volunteers are assigned to the cases of children who have been victims of life-threatening abuse or neglect and - as a result - have been placed in protective custody. Our volunteers contact caseworkers, interview parents, ensure necessary medical care, look ou

t for educational interests and make recommendations in court regarding the permanent placement of the child. They dry tears and give hugs and throw birthday parties too. Most importantly, they serve as a "constant" person for that child to count on during a very tumultuous time. Essentially, our volunteers do whatever it takes to ensure that the needs of the child are being met while that child is in care.

This past Saturday, hundreds of children woke up bright and early to shop at Target for our annual Childspree! 🛍️Each child picked out brand-new clothes, toiletries and other everyday essentials, then headed home with a backpack full of school supplies to help them start the school year with confidence. It was a morning filled with smiles, excitement and the rare opportunity for children to choose items just for themselves. Thank you to our volunteers and sponsors for making this special experience possible!

During a recent visit, the children were excited to show their advocate their room and the things that matter most to them, including photos, favorite toys and drawings. With every interaction, advocates are building trust, creating connections and ensuring every child has someone who listens. 🩵
