The Support Center for Child Advocates provides direct legal and social service advocacy to child victims of physical and sexual abuse. Each child receives the service of a staff social worker who is teamed with a volunteer attorney from the Philadelphia legal community. Training programs are offered through the Center for Excellence in Advocacy and Child Advocates Online.
The Mission Statement is: to advocate for victims of child abuse and neglect with the goal of securing safety, justice, well-being and a permanent, nurturing environment for every child.
