Our Family Strengthening program focuses on working with families to create strong networks and healthy habits through classes, activities, and more. These programs engage children and parents in building their Five Protective Factors and solidifying strong and healthy families. Programs for parents and caregivers include support groups and classes that teach a variety of useful skills such as eating on a budget, child development, parenting, and much more. The support groups are parent-led, confidential and unbiased, providing a safe and secure environment for parents and caregivers to meet. Children can engage in activities promoting early education, school readiness and building social skills.
A volunteer has opportunities to help in adult or child classes, handing out needed items to participants, organizing in kind donations, data entry, or preparing lunch for participants.

Mission Statement
"Family Advocates works to strengthen families and keep kids safe by empowering everyday people to enrich the lives of youth." We are a private, independent 501 (c)(3) non-profit agency founded in 1978 and serve the fourth district of Idaho. This year, Family Advocates will provide a voice in court for over 1,100 children while providing family strengthening supports to nearly 1,200 additional family members. Our reach would not be possible without the support of our dedicated volunteers.
Description
Family Advocates trains and deploys over 500 volunteers each year to fulfill the demand of our child abuse and neglect prevention & intervention efforts throughout the 4th Judicial District of Idaho. Our CASA volunteers show us bravery by investigating child abuse, neglect, and abandonment and then advocating for those children in court to make sure the child’s voice is heard. Our Family Strengthening volunteers show us bravery by working with families to create strong networks and healthy habits through classes, activities, and more.
