Your Voice. Their Future.
We are the voice of thousands of children who have faced abuse and neglect.
Be a child’s constant amidst the chaos.
Make the choice to be the voice for abused and neglected children.

Volunteer
Ordinary community members are doing extraordinary things for our most vulnerable children, and so can you. Learn about how you can volunteer and make an impact on the lives of at-risk children.
Virtual Trivia Night
How can you support Child Advocates from the comfort of your own home? Gather your smartest friends and create a winning team for the Child Advocates Virtual Trivia Night Fundraiser on Thursday, September 10! Proceeds support our mission of serving abused and neglected children in Marion County.
Show Your Support
We help children of all ages, races and socio-economic backgrounds. Children with irresistible grins, vivid imaginations, and incredible potential. A gift to Child Advocates helps provide for the recruitment, training, and support of court-appointed special advocate volunteers.
Interrupting Racism for Children
Interrupting Racism for Children educates and moves individuals to action to stop racism in its tracks, creating a future where children thrive and race does not predict their life outcomes. Upcoming workshops will be held at The Jewel Center. Learn more and discover helpful anti-racism tools and resources.
