Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Child Abuse Prevention, Civil Rights, Crime & Law, Domestic Violence
Mission: Child advocates train court appointed special advocates (casas) to be the voice for abused and neglected children in wichita, archer, clay, and montague counties in texas. As guardians ad litem, casas make recommendations for safe, permanent and loving homes for children.
Target demographics: Abused and Neglected Children
Geographic areas served: Montague, Archer, Clay and Wichita Counties
Programs: Casa volunteers provide a depth of service to child victims which would not otherwise be available. Our volunteers personally get to know the child they serve so they can more completely understand that childs immediate and long term needs and make sure those needs are addressed. These volunteers stay with the child throughout the case providing them both comfort and stability. This stability is critical to the care of abused children as the chaos they endure is often comparable to surviving a war or natural disaster. The fundamental goals for child advocates are to fulfill the promise that every child deserves to grow up in a loving, safe, and permanent home; to diminish the trauma of child abuse in our childrens lives, and lay the foundation so each child can have the benefit of a bright future, reaching their full potential. In fiscal year 2017, our volunteers gave 3,693 hours of their time and drove 70,453 miles, all in service to 356 children.
