Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Children & Youth Services
Mission: Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast is a 501 nonprofit organization, founded in 2013 to raise funds in support of the efforts and activities of the Florida state-funded Guardian ad Litem Program of Florida’s 19th Judicial Circuit Court. We build relationships with the business community as well as private, public, civic, and faith-based groups to identify and develop additional resources and support. Our goal is 100% representation of abused, neglected, and abandoned children under our court’s jurisdiction. Many times a need may arise that is not covered by the state-funded GAL program. This prompted the initial idea of forming a non-profit to raise funds to help provide the additional much needed support and thus the creation of Voices for Children of Okeechobee and the Treasure Coast (Voices OTC). When a Guardian ad Litem, also known as a GAL, makes a request on behalf of a child (whether for a bed, bicycle, or any other number of everyday needs) we rise to meet the need. This would not be possible without the GENEROSITY of donors, that make it all possible!
