Child Advocates

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.

We are thrilled to honor Cinda and Jeff Lack at this year’s Pull for Kids Classic! 🎉✨ For nearly 25 years, Cinda and Jeff have been dedicated champions of Child Advocates. It all began when Cinda was assigned to the organization through the Junior League of Houston, where she created Lifebooks for our children. These books, crafted individually for each child, tell their childhood story with pictures, milestones and cherished memories. Cinda eventually became an advocate and spoke up for the children on her two cases. Starting in 2012, Jeff was an active member of the Board of Directors and Marketing Committee. Since then, they have supported initiatives such as Santa’s Wish List, Heroes Society Annual Fund and the Pull for Kids Classic. Together, they have been steadfast supporters of the mission, and we are excited to honor the impact they have made.

For children who have experienced uncertainty, knowing someone will show up can mean everything. Recently, one advocate attended a girl’s choir concert, while another spent time listening as a child shared her excitement for summer break. It’s moments like these that build the trust and connection children need as they navigate the foster care system. 🦋☀️
