Mission Statement

TO BRING HOPE AND HEALING WHILE WORKING TOGETHER TO BREAK THE CYCLE OF CHILD ABUSE.

Description

The NETCAC offers a safe child friendly environment to children between the ages of 2-17 who have been sexually or severely physically abused or have been a witness to a violent crime. The children who come to the NETCAC are allowed to tell their experiences to a trained forensic interviewer rather than talking to with several different officials, which reduces the trauma to the child.

The NETCAC covers 8 counties and is a non-profit 501-3c organization that relies on grant funding, donations and volunteer time.

Due to the nature of our agency Volunteers must:

• be at least 18 years of age.
• complete an application, background check, professional & character references.
• be cleared through Criminal History and Child Abuse/ Neglect Central Registry and sex offender registry.
• complete a meeting(s) on site with various staff.
• attend necessary trainings required for a particular task.
• maintain strict confidentiality.
• commit to at least 6 months.
