How You Can Help

At the CAC, volunteers are mission-critical. Here’s how you can get involved.

Children’s Advocacy Center has flexible and meaningful opportunities for those interested in volunteering their time and unique talents toward restoring hope to children who have been abused.

Direct Service volunteer positions involve working directly with our clients and their families and therefore requires additional training and time committment. Non-direct service positions include helping with fundraising events, collection drives, or decorating the CACSC for the holidays and does not include contact with clients.

Family Greeter (Direct Service)

Greeters and friendly faces help provide a safe and welcoming environment for children as they wait for a forensic interview or therapy session. Training required.

Child Engagement Group (Direct Service)

Assist our Child Engagement Advocates with food set-up and childcare at our group meetings! Tuesday Nights from 5pm-7pm only.

Special Events/Projects

Assist our development team with fundraisers and events.

Collection Drives

Invite your friends, family, or colleagues to collect and donate new items needed for our Rainbow Room. Or adopt a family in November to make a child or children’s holiday wishes come true through Holiday of Hope.
