If you wish to donate your time as a volunteer, just contact our Volunteer Coordinator, Gail Ferguson, at our business phone, 830-303-4760, or by email: gferguson@gccac.net. Currently our main need for volunteers is in the Family Greeter role. That role includes greeting families/children to the center, playing games prior to and after their forensic interview, and making sure they have snacks and feel comfortable while at the center. The average time spent at the center for an appointment is 2- 3 hours and can vary from 8am to 5pm, Monday thru Friday. We offer the flexibility for you to set your schedule and to say "No" to any request for your time. We have our main office in Seguin and our second office in Cibolo. Please indicate on your application which office you prefer to work out of. Our Cibolo office is in great need of new volunteers. Contacting our volunteer coordinator for an application and background check (mandatory)gets the process started. You can also volunteer for outdoor events.

Mission Statement
The mission of the Guadalupe County Children’s Advocacy Center is to advocate for and provide services to abused children and their families in the investigation, prosecution, treatment, and prevention of child abuse, and to reduce the trauma to children by coordinating a multi-disciplinary approach.
Description
The Guadalupe County Children’s Advocacy Center provides a warm, homelike environment for children to come when there are allegations of abuse and/or neglect. Primary emphasis is placed on the well-being of the child to prevent abuse by facilitating the efforts of partner agencies which include: law enforcement, Child Protective Services, the County Attorney’s office, as well as medical and mental health professionals.

These interviews are monitored in real time by investigators from law enforcement, Child Protective Services, and prosecutors, thereby eliminating the need for traumatic multiple interviews. - Coordinate investigations
