Our children's advocacy center is a very special place to volunteer! A children's advocacy center is a place for children that have outcried sexual abuse, or are suspected of being abused. They arrive to our children-friendly center for a forensic interview by one of our professionally trained interviewers - skilled at not re-traumatizing the child. The video recorded interviews are then used by child protective services, investigators and prosecutors to provide safety and justice for the children. As a direct service volunteer you could be greeting families, attending prestaffing for cases, providing families with a tour of the facility, assisting caregivers with paper work, conducting post-service surveys via telephone, providing updates on cases to families and providing in-court support.
