Child Advocates

Child Advocates is a non-profit organization based in Houston, Texas. The organization employs 133 people and generates $13.9 million in annual revenue. Child Advocates provides a vital service by mobilizing volunteer advocates to represent the best interests of children in foster care. These volunteers act as the judge's eyes and ears, ensuring the unique needs of each child are met while they are in custody. They work to ensure children are placed in safe environments, whether that be returning home or finding a permanent placement with a loving relative or adoptive family. What sets Child Advocates apart is their focus on individualized attention. Unlike caseworkers and court-appointed attorneys who often handle large caseloads, each volunteer advocate represents only one child or sibling group at a time. This personalized approach allows for a deeper understanding of each child's needs and circumstances.
