Webster defines a volunteer as "one who offers himself freely or spontaneously." Technically, we agree. But our personal definition leans more towards "the thousands of individuals that make our world go 'round."

Whether you're looking to volunteer directly with the abused and neglected children we serve, help raise money to support our program or simply occupy some time on a weekday afternoon - we have a volunteer opportunity that's just your size:

• Court Appointed Advocate Volunteer - the heart of Child Advocates' mission and a shining example of ordinary individuals making an extraordinary impact in the lives of abused children.
• Friends of Child Advocates Volunteer - a membership-based group of volunteers who serve as a fundraising arm and volunteer base for our many special events.
• Young Professionals for Children Volunteer - a membership-based social/networking group who provide four annual events for the children we serve.
• Special Events Volunteer - opportunities to participate in shorter-term / done-in-a-day volunteer roles.

*To ensure the safety of the children we serve and that of our volunteers, we have instituted formalized security measures. Child Advocates, Inc. will perform a felony, sex offender and cps background check (pdf) on ALL individuals who sign up to volunteer for any activities or events that will be attended by the abused and neglected children we serve.
