You can be a Powerful Voice in a Childs Life! Become an Everyday Hero!
Mission Statement:
Voices for Children is the Court Appointed Special Advocate program established to provide a voice for the children of Jefferson and Lincoln counties, who have come to the attention of the court because of abuse or neglect, until a safe and permanent home is established.
Voices for Children trains caring adult volunteers just like you, to usher children through the often bewildering and congested court system.
What Do Court Appointed Special Advocates Do?
1. They stand up for foster children so they'll stand a chance.
2. They serve as a fact finder for the judge by throughly researching the background of each assigned case.
3. They speak for the child in the courtroom, representing the child's best interest.
4.They continue to advocate for the child until a safe and permanent home is established.
