There's a place for you in Pennsylvania's child advocacy network.

Become a Judicial Child Advocate

Judicial Child Advocates are trained community volunteers, appointed by judges, who speak up for children in dependency court because of abuse or neglect. You'll volunteer with the local affiliate serving your county, which trains and supports you.
