Our team of volunteer advocates are court appointed to advocate for the best interest of children who have experienced abuse and neglect. Volunteers learn about the needs of the child for whom they are advocating through talking to other parties to the case, speaking to those that are involved in the child's life, and meeting with the child on a regular basis. With that information they give our local judges regular updates on the child's life and make recommendations in the best interest of the child. Learn More: gorgecasa.org
