Advocates for Children

Mission: To ensure that every child has an equitable chance at a safe and nurturing home.

Advocates for Children envisions a community in which every child who has experienced abuse or neglect is given the opportunity to thrive in a safe and loving home. We are the local program stemming from the National CASA organization. We serve children who are victims of abuse and neglect in Bartholomew, Decatur, and Jennings counties here in Indiana.

We provide either volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) or staff Guardian Ad Litems (GALs) who are trained and empowered to ensure that every child can thrive in the safe embrace of a loving home. This advocacy work can make a lifelong difference for an abused or neglected child.
