• Former Foster Child Pays It Forward

    Alyssa Canedo is not an ordinary advocate - she understands what it's like to be in foster care... and what it means to have an advocate by your side.

  • Be the Difference for a Foster Child

    Become a court appointed advocate and help a child in foster care find a safe, stable home.


Child Advocates mobilizes court appointed volunteers to break the vicious cycle of child abuse. We speak up for abused children who are lost in the system and guide them into safe environments where they can thrive.
