A MESSAGE FROM Child Advocates, Inc.
Child Advocates recruits, trains and supports volunteers who provide a voice for children in foster care. We provide lifesaving advocacy that helps abused and neglected children exit foster care to a safe, permanent home as quickly as possible.
 
Our volunteers’ main job is to provide the court with recommendations about where the children they represent should live on a permanent basis. Throughout the case, our volunteers maintain contact with everyone involved in the children’s lives, from foster parents, biological parents and therapists to Child Protective Services caseworkers and attorneys appointed by the court. They make sure the children are receiving the medical and psychological help they need, and they meet with teachers and principals to help the children thrive in school. They dry tears and give hugs and throw birthday parties, too. Most importantly, they serve as a 'constant' person for the children to count on during this tumultuous time. Essentially, our volunteers do whatever it takes to ensure that the needs of the children are being met while they are in care.

We hope you join us for the 2023 Houston Half Marathon and Marathon. Your participation allows us to serve even more abused and neglected children right here in Harris County.
