Our Values
What guides how we serve children and support affiliates across Pennsylvania.
Our Values
Everything we do rests on one belief: best-interest volunteer advocacy can ensure safety, well-being, and permanency for children who have experienced abuse or neglect.

Our Pillars
Constant
CYAN Judicial Child Advocates are often the only constant in a child’s life—the one person who shows up, listens, and acts in their best interest until permanency is achieved.
Connection
One CYAN Judicial Child Advocate to one child is an essential part of our operating mission. Because the best outcomes require constancy. And that is only achieved through a deep, enduring relationship.
Competence
Just showing up isn’t enough. This work is backed by Pennsylvania Statute Title 42, and requires skill and intensive training. This is both necessary and admirable.
Collaboration
CYAN Judicial Child Advocates can’t function alone. It takes a network of staff, judges, legislators, board members, and the community to empower them to effectively support each child’s best interests.
